AI Article Synopsis
- The study discusses intracranial aneurysms found in a large French-Canadian family.
- It reviews recurrence risk data from 22 other families that also have multiple affected individuals.
- The findings do not provide a clear understanding of how the trait is inherited.
Article Abstract
We report on the occurrence of intracranial aneurysms in several individuals of a large French-Canadian family. Recurrence risk from 22 previously reported families (each with at least two affected first degree relatives) and the present family does not allow any firm conclusion about the mode of inheritance of the trait.

Review of Endosaccular Flow Disrupters for Wide-Neck Aneurysm Treatment.
Cardiol Rev
January 2025
From the Department of Neurological Surgery, Montefiore Medical Center, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, NY.
Endosaccular flow disruption has emerged as a transformative approach for treating wide-neck intracranial aneurysms, which are characterized by neck diameters exceeding 4 millimeters or dome-to-neck ratios below 2. This review examines the technical specifications and clinical outcomes of major endosaccular devices, including the Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device, the Artisse embolization device, the Medina embolization device, the neck bridging device for bifurcation aneurysms, the polycarbonate urethane membrane-assisted device, the Galaxy saccular endovascular aneurysm lattice, and the Contour Neurovascular System. Analysis of pivotal trials reveals varying degrees of efficacy and safety across platforms.

Department of Geriatrics and Neurology, Diakonie Hospital Jung Stilling, Siegen, Germany.
Background: Surgical clipping and endovascular coiling are both effective in preventing aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, but the choice between these interventions remains controversial, leading to treatment disparities across medical centers.
Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted, including relevant two-arm clinical trials up to September 2023, sourced from Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library. Our primary outcomes were complete occlusion rates during mid-term and long-term follow-ups.
Canadian Association of Radiologists Central Nervous System Diagnostic Imaging Referral Guideline.

North York General Hospital, Toronto, ON, Canada.
The Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR) Central Nervous System Expert Panel is made up of physicians from the disciplines of radiology, emergency medicine, neurosurgery, and neurology, a patient advisor, and an epidemiologist/guideline methodologist. After developing a list of 24 clinical/diagnostic scenarios, a rapid scoping review was undertaken to identify systematically produced referral guidelines that provide recommendations for one or more of these clinical/diagnostic scenarios. Recommendations from 55 guidelines and contextualization criteria in the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations (GRADE) for guidelines framework were used to develop 51 recommendation statements across the 24 scenarios.

Department of Neurosurgery, International University of Health and Welfare Narita Hospital, Narita, JPN.
Infectious intracranial aneurysms (IIAs) are rare lesions with fragile arterial walls located within the aneurysms, carrying a high risk of rupture. Standard management often involves antibiotic therapy and parent artery occlusion; however, the latter carries a significant risk of cerebral infarction. This report presents a case of an unruptured IIA following cerebral infarction, successfully treated with coil embolization while preserving the parent artery.

We describe a novel application of photon-counting detector CT (PCD-CT) in neurovascular imaging by harnessing the improved spatial resolution, attenuation of electronic noise, and reduction of metal artifacts. The presented case offers the unique challenge of high-quality imaging for the assessment of treated and untreated intracranial saccular aneurysms, in the setting of metal artifacts from embolization coils. Our goal was to explore optimized reconstruction parameters for ultra-high-resolution imaging (UHR) using a dedicated, sharp neurovascular kernel (Hv72) and the highest strength of quantum iterative reconstruction (QIR-4) for detailed characterization of the vasculature.
