Natural history and growth rate of intracranial aneurysms in Loeys-Dietz syndrome: implications for treatment

CONCLUSIONS: ICAs in patients with LDS are common, are frequently small, and have a growth rate similar to that of unruptured ICAs in the general population. More aggressive or earlier intervention for asymptomatic ICAs identified in LDS patients compared with the general population is likely unwarranted based on the authors' experience at their institution.PMID:37948688 | DOI:10.3171/2023.8.JNS23733
