PcomA aneurysms 21 8.4
AchoA aneurysms 28 11.2
ICA terminal bifurcation 3 1.2
M1 5 2
MCA bifurcation 2 0.8
Basilar arteryc 6 2.4
Vertebral arteryd 8 3.2
Distal aneurysmse 10 4
Total 251 100

Note:—AchoA indicates anterior choroidal artery.

a

If the aneurysm involved both petrous and cavernous segments, it is included in this group, and this definition applies to 12/28 aneurysms in this group.

b

The aneurysm is included in the supraclinoid group when it involves this segment, regardless of whether it extends to more than this segment proximally (eg, to the cavernous segment). The aneurysms at the posterior communicating and anterior choroidal artery origins and the terminal bifurcation are shown separately and are not included in this group.

c

This group includes 1 superior cerebellar artery origin aneurysm and 2 aneurysms involving the vertebrobasilar junction in addition to 3 basilar trunk aneurysms.

d

Three aneurysms at the origin of PICA are included in this group.

e

This group includes all aneurysms distal to the MCA bifurcation, all anterior cerebral artery aneurysms excluding the ones located at the ICA termination, and any aneurysm distal to basilar termination (ie, posterior cerebral artery aneurysms).
