OBJECTIVES: The pathogenesis of intracranial aneurysms is multifactorial and includes genetic, environmental, and anatomic influences. We aimed to identify image-based morphological parameters that were associated with middle cerebral artery (MCA) bifurcation aneurysms.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We evaluated three-dimensional morphological parameters obtained from CT angiography (CTA) or digital subtraction angiography (DSA) from 317 patients with unilateral MCA bifurcation aneurysms diagnosed at the Brigham and Women's Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital between 1990 and 2016. We chose the contralateral unaffected MCA bifurcation as the control group, in order to control for genetic and environmental risk factors. Diameters and angles of surrounding parent and daughter vessels of 634 MCAs were examined.
RESULTS: Univariable and multivariable statistical analyses were performed to determine statistical significance. Sensitivity analyses with smaller (≤ 3 mm) aneurysms only and with angles excluded, were also performed. In a multivariable conditional logistic regression model we showed that smaller diameter size ratio (OR 0.0004, 95% CI 0.0001-0.15), larger daughter-daughter angles (OR 1.08, 95% CI 1.06-1.11) and larger parent-daughter angle ratios (OR 4.24, 95% CI 1.77-10.16) were significantly associated with MCA aneurysm presence after correcting for other variables. In order to account for possible changes to the vasculature by the aneurysm, a subgroup analysis of small aneurysms (≤ 3 mm) was performed and showed that the results were similar.
CONCLUSIONS: Easily measurable morphological parameters of the surrounding vasculature of the MCA may provide objective metrics to assess MCA aneurysm formation risk in high-risk patients.
