Morphological characteristics of brain aneurysms among age groups

CONCLUSIONS: Younger patients have small unruptured and ruptured aneurysms, and ruptured aneurysms are mostly located in the MCA and ACOM. Older patients have larger and more irregular unruptured aneurysms, and ruptured aneurysms are mostly located in the PCOM and ACOM. An irregular morphology increases the risk of rupture in all age groups.PMID:37715650 | DOI:10.1177/15910199231201520
