Ebs unruptured aneurysms 2012
1. Unruptured Familial Intracranial Aneurysms:
Are these at greater risk of rupture?
Macquarie Neurosurgery
Evidence Based Surgery presentation
Date:23rd February 2012
Leon Lai
EBS presentation 1
2. Clinical case
34F; incidental paraclinoid aneurysm (5mm)
Non-smoker; No Hypertension
Brother died of ruptured aneurysm
Is this aneurysm at greater risk of rupture compared to
sporadic one?
(Treat or not treat?)
3. Searchable question (PICO format)
• P = Familial Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms
• I = Observation
• C = Sporadic/Non-familial Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms
• O = Rupture; SAH

12. FIAs: Other features
Multiple aneurysms more common
De novo aneurysms more common
Rupture tend to occur within same decade of life as that of
sibling
Compared to sporadic aneurysms,
Rupture tends to be 5 years earlier
Rupture is at a smaller size (1-2mm)
14. (Stroke. 2009;40:1952-1957)
Prospective, 26 clinical centres in
North America, Australia, NZ.
2 or more affected family members
Smoker or Hypertension or both 17x increased risk of rupture
(ISUIA 0.069%)
2 ruptures 1.2% per year
(96% aneurysms<7mm)
18. Conclusion
34F; incidental paraclinoid aneurysm (5mm)
Non-smoker; No Hypertension
Brother died of ruptured aneurysm
Is this aneurysm at greater risk of rupture compared to
sporadic one?
Retrospective data: 2 to 5x increased risk of rupture; rupture is 5 years
earlier and at a smaller size (1-2mm)
Prospective data (1 study) –17x increased risk of rupture
19. Conclusion
X = risk of rupture/year; Y = life expectancy (years)
ISUIA: X=0.069%; Y=40 Risk = 2.72% over next 40 years
SUAVE: X=0.34%; Y=40 Risk = 12.74% over next 40 years
FIA Study: X=1.2%; Y=40 Risk = 38.30% over next 40 years
TREAT!
