Article Synopsis
- Intracranial aneurysms (IAs) are often asymptomatic, but those that rupture can lead to severe complications, making it crucial to identify which IAs are at risk of rupture.
- A study involving 7992 patients across 21 centers found that the location of an IA is the strongest predictor of whether it will rupture or be diagnosed incidentally, and that awareness of risk factors like hypertension and smoking influences diagnosis outcomes.
- Additionally, the findings suggest that age, IA size, and smoking status vary in their association with ruptured IAs, providing insights for better clinical decision-making and tailored patient care.
Spinal magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is difficult to perform because of the size of the spinal cord vessels. High-field MR improves resolution and imaging speed. We examined 17 patients with spinal vascular diseases with dynamic contrast-enhanced three-dimensional MR sequences.

As angiography showed immediate flow reduction we abstained from additional coiling which was initially planned. Eleven days later CT demonstrated nearly complete thrombosis of the aneurysm.
