ABSTRACT
Intracranial aneurysms have a prevalence of about 2% of the population. They are a common incidental finding of noninvasive neuroimaging methods, raising the question of the necessity of treatment of patients with an asymptomatic intracranial aneurysm. For long, the only treatment option was surgical clipping of aneurysm neck. In the last 25 years, endovascular techniques have been developed as an alternative solution for patients who are not eligible for neurosurgical procedures. Research has shown better results of embolization procedures with lower rates of complications, but a higher rate of recanalization is still a major drawback of endovascular coiling. There are no strict protocols and the treatment of choice for intracranial aneurysms should be agreed upon by both the physician and the patient. This review aims to provide an insight into the management of intracerebral aneurysms with emphasis on the decision making problems faced by clinicians.
