Morphological parameters associated with ruptured posterior communicating aneurysms.

The rupture risk of unruptured intracranial aneurysms is known to be dependent on the size of the aneurysm. However, the association of morphological characteristics with ruptured aneurysms has not been established in a systematic and location specific manner for the most common aneurysm locations....

description The rupture risk of unruptured intracranial aneurysms is known to be dependent on the size of the aneurysm.
