Quick Review n An aneurysm is a weakened spot on a blood vessel that balloons out and fills with blood n The aneurysm can put pressure on surrounding nerves or it can rupture causing blood to spill into the surrounding tissue
3 Types of Aneurysms n. Fusiform n. Berry n. Lateral
Berry Aneurysm n Aka saccular aneurysm n Attached by a neck or a stem to an artery n Accounts for 90% of all aneursyms
Berry Aneurysm
How to diagnose an Aneursym? n CT angiography n Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) n. THE GOLD STANDARD n INTRA-ARTERIAL CATHETER ANGIOGRAPHY
CT Scan Arteriogram
Treatment Options n REFER
Education n Stop smoking n Stop drinking n Control blood pressure
Helsinki Research Results n Studied 278 subjects n Age 15 -60 with subarachnoid hemorrhage n 314 patients in control group n Research team studied the effects of cigarette smoking, alcohol intake and HTN on the rupture of intracranial aneurysms
What they found… n Current cigarette smoking especially in women is an independent risk factor formation and rupture of intracranial aneurysms n Current smokers and previous smokers had more aneurysms than did those who had never smoked regularly
Johns Hopkins Research n Angiography confirmed intracranial aneurysms n 419 patients dx with intracranial aneurysm n 127 had multiple aneurysms n Women and hx of smoking
Anybody need a smoke break?
University of Colorado n 92% of patients with aneurysms larger than 24 mm n 78% of patients with aneurysms ranging in size from 13. 3 mm to 24 mm n 66% of patients with aneurysms smaller than 13 mm
WERE SMOKERS
IN CONCLUSION n Evidence has shown that cigarette smoking increases the rate of formation and rupture of intracranial aneurysms n Cigarette smoking and female gender can be identified as an independent risk factor
