background: management of intracranial aneurysms has made debates about the best treatment modality in recent years. the aim of this study was to compare the interventional outcomes between two groups of patients, one treated with endovascular coiling and the other treated with surgical clipping. methods: this prospective study included 48 patients with intracranial aneurysms who underwent endo...

abstract cerebral  aneurysms  are  the  major  cause  of  subarachnoid  hemorrhage.  common  ascribed  etiologies  are hemodynamic  factors  such  as  atherosclerosis,   hypertension,  infection,  trauma,  polycyctic   kidney  disease, connective tissue disorders like ehlers-danlos disease, marfan syndrome, and familial predisposition. however, its association with ankylosing spondylitis (as) i...

conclusion coil embolization showed successful outcomes in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms with a low complication rate. results immediately after the procedure, the total occlusion was seen in 76 (86.4%), subtotal occlusion in six (6.8%), and partial occlusion in six patients (6.8%). there was no significant relationship between the aneurysm size, aneurysm neck size, and location of th...

conclusions although propofol remains a standard agent for such types of surgeries, lidocaine proved equally effective and coupled with its low cost, minimal side effects and omission of other hypnotic agents was a plausible induction agent and a maintenance drug in the selected cases. case presentation lidocaine was applied as the sole anaesthetic for induction and maintenance during aneurysm ...

Introduction:Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is divided into two traumatic and non-traumatic categories. The present study sought to investigate the anatomical properties of non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage in Kerman, Iran. Method:A total of 305 non-traumatic ICH cases were chosen in Shafa medical center. Data from patients’ files and CT scan images, including demographic factors and type o...

Fetal-type posterior cerebral artery (FTP) is a common anatomic variation that is closely associated with intracranial aneurysm. In the present study, multislice computed tomography angiography (CTA) was performed to assess whether FTP is a risk factor for intracranial aneurysm. CTA data of 364 consecutive cases of patients who were suspected with cerebrovascular disease or intracranial aneurys...

Background and Aim: This study aimed at analyzing the demographic characteristics of the patients with non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage, their angiographic results and the correlation between computed tomography (CT) scan and angiography findings. Methods and Materials/Patients: In a descriptive study, we retrospectively reviewed the records of the patients with non-traumatic intracranial...

Given the social importance of intracranial aneurysm as a major cause of a lethal subarachnoid hemorrhage, clarification of mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of this disease is essential for improving poor prognosis once after rupture. Previous histopathological analyses of human aneurysm walls have revealed the presence of T cells in lesions suggesting involvement of this type of cell in ...

BACKGROUND The prevalence of intracranial aneurysm in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is higher than that among the general population. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis on the prevalence and natural history of intracranial aneurysm among patients with ADPKD. METHODS Medline, Embase, Web of Science and Scopus, from inception to July 2016, we...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Saccular intracranial aneurysm is a common disease that may cause devastating intracranial hemorrhage. Hemodynamics, wall remodeling, and wall inflammation have been associated with saccular intracranial aneurysm rupture. We investigated how saccular intracranial aneurysm hemodynamics is associated with wall remodeling and inflammation of the saccular intracranial aneurys...
