Study: Growing Brain Aneurysms Likely to Rupture, Regardless of Size

Regardless of size, brain aneurysms are 12 times more likely to rupture if they are growing. The finding, a result of a study published in Radiology, counters current suggestions that small aneurysms are at a low risk of rupture. “Our data support the need to perform longitudinal follow-up imaging to monitor for possible growth in all incidental unruptured aneurysms, including small lesions,” the study’s lead author said.
