Abstract
Saccular intracranial aneurysms are localized enlargement lesions of the vasculature, most commonly sited at bifurcation points in the circle of Willis. Un-ruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIA) are a common finding, occurring in about 2% of the population, making them very probable to be seen by most practitioners, and present a challenge in the recommendations for optimum management and screening. Most aneurysms do not rupture and patients harboring these lesions often remain asymptomatic. Material and Methods: we recruited 12 patients with un-ruptured intracranial aneurysms that was treated by endovascular intervention and evaluated clinically and angiographically before procedure and 3-6 months after procedure Results: the mean age of the patients was 51.42±11.23 ranging age 23 – 69 years. 6 were females and 6 were males. 5 patients (41.7 %) were hypertensive which was the commonest risk factor in those patients, 6 patients (50%) had ICA (Internal Carotid Artery) aneurysm. Conclusion: endovascular therapy of intracranial aneurysms is a safe and effective method of therapy with less morbidity and mortality rates.
