Background: The present study aims to present the most important considerations when it comes to patients features, clinical presentation, localization, morphology, pathogenesis, and the best treatment for each type of the nonsaccular aneurysms.
Methods: We performed a literature review using PubMed. The search was limited to the studies published in English, from 2010 to 2017.
Results: Data about the clinical presentation; the aneurysm pathogenesis, morphology, and localization; the patient features; and about the surgical or endovascular approach were analyzed for the four types of nonsaccular aneurysms presented.
Conclusion: All types of nonsaccular aneurysms have a higher prevalence in young adults. Men are more affected by fusiform and mycotic aneurysms while women suffer more with blister-like aneurysms (BLAs). The mycotic and the BLAs affect more the anterior circulation while the fusiform affects more the posterior circulation. Mycotic and blister-like has as its major complication and clinical presentation the hemorrhage; however, the fusiform aneurysms usually present ischemia and/or mass effect. The reconstructive endovascular techniques for all types of nonsaccular aneurysms presented as the treatment with the best outcomes. Among this technique, the flow diversion presented good results in all types of aneurysms and it seems to promote the best outcomes.

Brain aneurysms, also known as cerebral aneurysms, are the growths of the parent artery. Based on their shape, aneurysms can be categorized as saccular or non-saccular. Several factors have been linked to multiple brain aneurysms but the most prevalent is arterial hypertension.

Article Synopsis
- Intracranial aneurysms are rare in children, making up less than 5% of cases, and their unique shape poses challenges for treatment, particularly with the growing use of flow-diverter devices like the Pipeline Embolization Device (PED).
- A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted using data from Medline, Embase, and Web of Science, focusing on studies with at least three pediatric patients to evaluate outcomes such as occlusion rates, complications, and mortality.
- The analysis included 80 patients and showed a high immediate occlusion rate of 90%, favorable clinical outcomes in 92% of cases, and a low complication rate of 3%, indicating that flow-diverter

Background And Purpose: The Pipeline Embolization Device is a safe and effective treatment option for intracranial aneurysms. The newer Pipeline generations have received structural refinements and a surface modification to improve deliverability, procedural safety, and angiographic outcomes. This multicenter study evaluated the clinical safety and efficacy of the 2 surface-modified Pipeline iterations, Pipeline Vantage and Pipeline Flex with Shield Technology (PFS).

Background: The fusiform aneurysm is a nonsaccular dilatation affecting the entire vessel wall over a short distance. Although PDGFRB somatic variants have been identified in fusiform intracranial aneurysms, the molecular and cellular mechanisms driving fusiform intracranial aneurysms due to PDGFRB somatic variants remain poorly understood.
Methods: In this study, single-cell sequencing and immunofluorescence were employed to investigate the phenotypic changes in smooth muscle cells within fusiform intracranial aneurysms.

Article Synopsis
- Flow diverter devices (FDs) like the Pipeline (PED) and Tubridge (TED) are used to treat unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs), but studies directly comparing them are limited.
- This analysis matched patients treated with either device based on various factors to ensure a fair comparison of outcomes and complications, revealing no significant differences in perioperative issues or short-term results.
- However, a slight trend suggested that PED may lead to better complete occlusion rates, indicating a need for further research on long-term efficacy.
