Summary: Genetic studies on intracranial aneurysms have progressed significantly in the past decade, revealing more genetic risk factors and enhancing our understanding of the disease. Family studies, sequencing, and genome-wide association studies provide opportunities for better understanding, prevention, and treatment of this condition.

Summary: Recently, common genetic risk factors for intracranial aneurysm (IA) and aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (ASAH) were found to have potential for genetic risk prediction. However, a genetic risk score incorporating these factors only showed limited predictive value for IA presence and ASAH incidence, suggesting that it may not be suitable for daily clinical use.

Summary: This review discusses high-risk groups who may benefit from screening for unruptured intracranial aneurysms to prevent aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. It outlines the advantages and disadvantages of screening, as well as the importance of counseling. Additional research is needed to identify more high-risk groups and improve the efficiency of screening.

Summary: The study shows that dietary daidzein and its metabolite, equol, protect against aneurysm formation in ovariectomized female mice by activating estrogen receptor-beta and suppressing inflammation. This suggests the potential therapeutic value of dietary daidzein and equol for preventing intracranial aneurysms and related subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Summary: The study found that for unruptured intracranial aneurysms in Western populations, follow-up results showed that aneurysms with stable morphology can be managed conservatively, while those with unstable morphology require treatment. The study revealed a low risk of rupture and mortality unrelated to aneurysms.

Summary: Vascular diseases, including intracranial aneurysms, are often associated with lipid metabolism disorders, leading to degenerative changes in the vascular wall and impaired vascular function.

Summary: The safety and efficacy of SAC using Neuroform Atlas for treating RIA were assessed compared with coiling alone through propensity score matching analysis. The SAC using Neuroform Atlas group showed higher complete occlusion rate, lower recanalization rate, and lesser need for retreatment compared with the coiling-alone group.

Summary: This study successfully identified radiomics features associated with intracranial aneurysm rupture using CT angiography images, and constructed a logistic regression model that effectively classified aneurysm rupture. The radiomics model demonstrated high accuracy and stability on both training and test cohorts, indicating its potential for automatic classification of aneurysm rupture.

Summary: This study found that antihypertensive medication does not significantly reduce the formation of de novo saccular intracranial aneurysms (sIAs), but irregular usage of these medications is associated with an increased risk of de novo sIA formation. Age, smoking history, and irregular usage of antihypertensive medication were identified as significant risk factors for de novo sIA formation.

Summary: This study evaluated the validity of the UIATS model in predicting aneurysm growth or rupture in patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms. The results showed poor performance of the UIATS model in predicting aneurysm progression during follow-up.

Summary: A meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the risk of hemorrhage and rupture in ischemic stroke patients with concomitant unruptured aneurysm. The results showed that the rate of intracranial hemorrhage related to unruptured aneurysms was low, and the risk of rupture was relatively small compared to stroke patients without aneurysms.

Summary: The study revealed that abdominal aortic calcification is more prominent in patients with ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms compared to matched controls, and increases the risk for ruptured aneurysms.

Summary: Women have a higher risk of intracranial aneurysm rupture than men, and this sex difference is not explained by differences in patient- and aneurysm-related risk factors. Future studies should focus on elucidating the factors underlying the increased risk of aneurysmal rupture in women.

Summary: Limited clinical evidence exists on giant intracranial aneurysms (GIAs), with a focus on their natural history, case fatality, and treatment outcomes for both ruptured and unruptured cases. Both ruptured and unruptured GIAs displayed poor prognosis, with high rupture rates in the unruptured cases. Patients undergoing surgical or endovascular treatment had lower case fatality and rupture rates compared to those receiving conservative management, likely due to differences in patient selection criteria.
