Familial aneurysms
- Familial aneurysms have a higher risk of ruptured than sporadic
- This is especially if there is a first-degree family history of aneurysm or SAH
Aneurysm size
Aneurysm size ratio (SR)
Aneurysm shape
Aneurysm high-risk locations
Aneurysm infection
Aneurysm wall enhancement (AWE)
Other rupture risk factors
The ELAPSS score for predicting risk of aneurysm rupture
