It is difficult to correctly identify the ruptured aneurysm in patients with multiple intracranial aneurysms. Here, we investigated the clinical characteristics of ruptured intracranial aneurysms in such patients. We retrospectively analyzed 361 patients who underwent microsurgical clipping of ruptured intracranial aneurysms at our institution from 2012 to 2018. Patients' age, sex, Fisher group, World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies grade, size (neck width, depth, maximum diameter), location, and shape of intracranial aneurysm, and hemorrhage pattern on admission were reviewed. In total, 266 patients (74%) had single intracranial aneurysms and 95 (26%) had multiple intracranial aneurysms. Eighty-nine of the 95 multiple intracranial aneurysms (94%) had irregular shape (P < 0.01). The median aspect ratios of ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms were 2.2 ± 1.1 and 1.0 ± 0.4, respectively (P < 0.01). Twelve of 95 patients (13%) had ruptured intracranial aneurysms that were smaller than unruptured intracranial aneurysms. Among the 12 patients, the aspect ratios of ruptured intracranial aneurysms were greater than those of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (P < 0.01). Regarding morphologic characteristics, aspect ratio, maximum size, and irregular shape could be the useful predictive factors, but the greatest aspect ratio among patients with multiple aneurysms was the most predictive of an intracranial aneurysm rupture, after adjustment for aneurysmal size (adjusted odds ratio 217.82; 95% confidence interval 56.41-841.08). The results of this study indicate that the aspect ratio is the most predictive factor of a ruptured intracranial aneurysm in patients with multiple intracranial aneurysms.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008866 Microsurgery The performance of surgical procedures with the aid of a microscope.
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D002532 Intracranial Aneurysm Abnormal outpouching in the wall of intracranial blood vessels. Most common are the saccular (berry) aneurysms located at branch points in CIRCLE OF WILLIS at the base of the brain. Vessel rupture results in SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE or INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES. Giant aneurysms (>2.5 cm in diameter) may compress adjacent structures, including the OCULOMOTOR NERVE.
