A new report discusses research findings on the risk factors for intracranial aneurysm rupture in northern China. The study collected data from patients with ruptured and unruptured aneurysms and conducted a case-control study to analyze the risk factors. The results showed that specific locations of aneurysms, such as the anterior cerebral artery, anterior communicating artery, posterior communicating artery, and anterior circulation branches, were associated with a higher risk of rupture. On the other hand, patients with a history of cerebral infarction and those with aneurysms located in the internal carotid artery were less likely to experience rupture. The study suggests that preventive measures should be taken for aneurysms at high risk of rupture. [Extracted from the article]
