- Multiple and mirror intracranial aneurysms: study of prevalence and associated risk factors(2021) ROSI JUNIOR, Jefferson; SANTOS, Alexandra Gomes dos; SILVA, Saul Almeida da; IGLESIO, Ricardo Ferrareto; CALDAS, Jose Guillherme Mendes Pereira; RABELO, Nicollas Nunes; TEIXEIRA, Manoel Jacobsen; PREUL, Mark C.; SPETZLER, Robert F.; FIGUEIREDO, Eberval GadelhaObjective Multiple intracranial aneurysms (MIA) account for 30% of all intracranial aneurysms, while mirror aneurysms, a subgroup of MIA, are present in 5% of all patients with cerebral aneurysms. We investigated the risk factors associated with the presence of multiple and mirror intracranial aneurysms. Methods 1404 patients, 314 males (22.4%) and 1090 female (77.6%) were enrolled for this study. Diagnosis was performed with a digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Multiplicity was defined as the presence of two or more aneurysms and mirror aneurysms as one pair of aneurysms involving bilateral corresponding arteries. Patients were followed-up from September 2009 till August 2018. Individuals' characteristics such as sex, age, smoking, hypertension and use of contraceptives were evaluated. Results Five hundred and twelve patients (36.4%) were diagnosed with MIA, approximately 4%/year. We observed 203 pairs of mirror aneurysms, accounting for 406 aneurysms (13% of the population). There was an increased frequency of females with multiple (p < 0.001, OR = 1.883, 95% CI = 1.386-2.560) and mirror aneurysms (p < 0.001, OR = 2.828, 95% CI = 1.725-4.636). Smoking was associated with multiplicity (p< 0.001, OR = 1.458, 95% CI = 1.160-1.833), as well as advanced age (p < 0.001, OR = 1.938, 95% CI = 1.438-2.611), but there was no significant relation with presence of mirror aneurysms. We observed higher frequency of baby aneurysms (<3mm) in the group of patients with MIA, while giant aneurysms (>25 mm) were most found in patients with only one aneurysm (p < 0.001). No differences between patients who used contraceptives against patients who did not use were found (p = 0.600). Conclusions Gender and smoking, known risk factors to the development of a single intracranial aneurysm, are proportionally increased in patients with MIA. Hypertension and oral contraceptives were not associated with multiplicity.
- Cavernous carotid aneurysms do not influence the occurrence of upstream ipsilateral aneurysm(2024) ROSI JUNIOR, Jefferson; SANTOS, Alexandra Gomes dos; SOLLA, Davi Jorge Fontoura; RABELO, Nicollas Nunes; SILVA, Saul Almeida da; IGLESIO, Ricardo Ferrareto; CALDAS, Jose Guillherme Mendes Pereira; TEIXEIRA, Manoel Jacobsen; FIGUEIREDO, Eberval GadelhaObjective Cavernous carotid aneurysms (CCA) comprehend around 5% of all intracranial aneurysms. The main risk factors for an intracranial aneurysm seem not to influence the incidence of CCAs. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of CCAs and the presence of upstream aneurysms. Methods 1403 patients, admitted in Hospital das Clinicas de Sao Paulo, Brazil, from September 2009 to August 2018, enrolled this study. Diagnosis was performed with Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA). Upstream aneurysm was defined as an intracranial aneurysm on anterior cerebral circulation, ipsilateral to the CCA (if present) or crossing the midline (e.g. anterior communicating artery). Results 177 individuals were diagnosed with CCA (12.6% of the population), totalizing 225 aneurysms (10% of the total number of aneurysms, 2253). No association was found between CCA and UA (p= .090, OR: 1.323, 95% CI: 0.957-1.828). Studying only patients with CCA, multivariable analysis showed smoking as the only factor associated with UA (p= .010, OR: 0.436, 95% CI: 0.232-0.821). Conclusions Cavernous carotid aneurysms were present in 12% of our population, mostly in female. They seem to be independent of the modifiable risk factors already associated with intracranial aneurysms. A higher frequency of mirror aneurysms was seen in this location. CCA did not influence the presence of ipsilateral and anterior circulation aneurysms.
