Elderly patients with multiple intracranial aneurysms show similar rupture rates but higher risks at specific sites. Surgical outcomes were better in younger patients, though generally satisfactory for older individuals.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Geriatric Medicine
  • Vascular Neurology

Background:

  • Multiple intracranial aneurysms present unique clinical challenges, particularly in elderly populations.
  • Understanding age-related differences in aneurysm characteristics and rupture risk is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the clinical features of multiple intracranial aneurysms in elderly versus younger patients.
  • To compare aneurysm rupture rates, anatomical distribution, and surgical outcomes between these age groups.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 481 patients with confirmed ruptured intracranial aneurysms.
  • Classification into two groups: ≤59 years (Group 1) and ≥60 years (Group 2).
  • Comparison of aneurysm incidence, rupture site prevalence, and surgical outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Incidence of multiple aneurysms was similar across age groups (30% vs. 27%).
  • Anterior communicating artery aneurysms showed the highest rupture rate, more pronounced in Group 2 (79% vs. 59%).
  • Younger patients (Group 1) achieved better surgical outcomes than elderly patients (Group 2).

Conclusions:

  • While multiple aneurysm rates are similar, rupture patterns and outcomes differ by age.
  • Rupture risk at specific sites, like the anterior communicating artery, is elevated in elderly patients.
  • Surgical decision-making for unruptured aneurysms in the elderly should consider site-specific rupture probabilities.
