Abstract

The detection of an unruptured intracranial aneurysm poses a dilemma for the patient and the physician: an aneurysm rupture is a catastrophic event, but preventive repair is not without risks. The recently updated AHA/ASA guidelines provide some foundation for decision-making by summarizing the available evidence, but several clinically relevant questions remain uncertain.
