Risk Factors for and Clinical Consequences of Multiple Intracranial Aneurysms [Clinical Sciences]

Conclusions—Female sex, higher age, arterial hypertension, smoking, and familial IA are major risk factors for MIA. In addition, MIA patients are at risk for enhanced IA formation. Further studies are needed to evaluate rupture risk and the role of ethnicity, especially in the context of increased MIA identification with improved neurovascular imaging.
