Abstract
An understanding of the natural history of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (IAs)
has always played a critical role in presurgical or endovascular planning, to avoid
possibly fatal events. Size, shape, morphology, and location are known risk factors
for rupture of an aneurysm, but morphologic parameters alone may not be sufficient
to perform proper rupture risk stratification.
