The mean aneurysm maximal diameter, neck, and height to neck ratio in migration cases were 3.4\u00b11.4\u2009mm (range 2\u20137.6\u2009mm), 2.4\u00b10.9\u2009mm (range 1.2\u20134.4\u2009mm), and 1.4\u00b10.4 (range 1\u20132.15), respectively. The 2\u2009mm diameter coil was the most common (39%, range 1\u20132.5\u2009mm) migrated coil. The length of the migrated coil was \u22644\u2009cm in 95% of cases.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Patients managed conservatively (5\/18, 28%) did well. Thromboembolic and\/or hemorrhagic complications were noted in 6\/10 migration patients treated by endovascular modalities and in all migration patients who underwent surgical treatment (4\/4).

Small aneurysms, aspect ratio &lt;1.6,\u2009and small coils are significant risk factors. Endovascular treatment, such as using a stent retriever, can be considered for procedural, proximal migration, and\/or in cases of vessel occlusion. Delayed or distal migration should be managed
