Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Alexandra Santos discusses multiple intracranial aneurysms. The study investigated the incidence and risk factors associated with multiple intracranial aneurysms in a Brazilian institution. The study included 1,404 patients with intracranial aneurysms, with 512 patients having multiple aneurysms. The majority of patients with multiple aneurysms were female and smokers. Age was found to be the most significant factor influencing the incidence of multiple aneurysms. The study also observed that multiple aneurysms tend to be smaller in size. The role of estrogen and arterial hypertension in the development of aneurysms was discussed.
