Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
Intracranial aneurysms are relatively common, occurring in 1 – 14% of population. Most of the intracranial aneurysms are asymptomatic. Unruptured aneurysms may cause symptoms from mass effect. Rupture of the intracranial aneurysm can lead to parenchymal hemorrhage or subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Ruptured aneurysm is the most common cause of spontaneous SAH. 85% of intracranial aneurysms occur in circle of Willis, of which anterior circulation is the most common site for aneurysms. Multiple aneurysms are seen in 15 – 20% of the patients.
