Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Intracranial aneurysm, also known as a cerebral aneurysm, is a cerebrovascular disorder characterized by a localized dilation or ballooning of a blood vessel in the brain due to a weakness in the vessel wall. These aneurysms can occur in any part of the brain but are most commonly found in the arteries of the cerebral arterial circle. Intracranial aneurysms may result from diseases acquired during life, or from genetic conditions. Hypertension, smoking, alcoholism, and obesity are associated with the development of brain aneurysms
Ruptured intracranial aneurysms are by far the most common cause of non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage and represent a neurological emergency with potentially devastating consequences. Subarachnoid hemorrhage is commonly suspected in the presence of sudden and severe headache, vomiting, signs of meningism, and/or altered mental status. However, failure to recognize milder and more ambiguous clinical pictures may result in a delayed or missed diagnosis.
For this Special Issue, we aim to collect papers related to all research on the treatment, diagnosis, clinical practices for the intracranial aneurysms. We encourage the submission of the following types of papers: original papers, comprehensive reviews, short reports, communications, perspectives, opinions, clinical trials, etc.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Journal of Vascular Diseases.
