Endovascular and Medical Management of Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms
Abstract: Unruptured intracranial aneurysms are often discovered incidentally on noninvasive imaging. As use of noninvasive imaging has increased, our understanding of the presumed prevalence of intracranial aneurysms in adults has increased. Incidentally found aneurysms are often asymptomatic; however, they can rarely rupture and cause life-threatening illness. Elective treatment of intracranial aneurysms carries risks which need to be considered along with patient-specific factors (e.g., anatomy, medical comorbidities, personal preferences). In this article, we review the natural history, risk factors for cerebral aneurysm formation and rupture, evidence for medical management, and the safety profile and efficacy of available endovascular treatment options.
