The authors analyzed pediatric patients with aneurysms to try to understand their clinical, radiological, and outcome profile.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Sixty-three pediatric patients (\u2264 18 years of age) with ages ranging from 4 to 18 years and features (clinical and radiological) suggestive of aneurysm presented to, and were treated at, the authors' center in the past 20 years (1991\u20132011). Included in the present study were only those patients who underwent surgical intervention, and thus data for 57 patients were analyzed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Seventy-three aneurysms in 57 patients were surgically treated. There was a slight female predominance (M\/F 1:1.2), and the mean age among all patients was 12.69 \u00b1 3.75 years. Fifty patients (87.72%) presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage, 4 (7.02%) with mass effect, and 3 (5.26%) with seizure. On presentation the majority of patients (45 [78.95%]) had a good clinical grade. Eleven patients had multiple aneurysms. The internal carotid artery (ICA) bifurcation was the most common aneurysm site (18 cases [24.66%]), followed by the middle cerebral artery (MCA) bifurcation (11 cases [15.07%]). At a mean follow-up of 18.58 \u00b1 10.71 months (range 1.5\u201344 months), 44 patients (77.19%) had a favorable outcome, and 5 patients had died.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Pediatric patients with intracranial aneurysms most commonly presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage, and there was a slight female predominance. The ICA bifurcation followed by the MCA bifurcation was the most common aneurysm site. The incidence of posterior circulation and giant aneurysms is higher in pediatric patients than in the adult population. Children tend to present with better clinical grades and have better overall survival results and good functional outcomes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2012.7.peds11455","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,8,24]],"date-time":"2012-08-24T14:00:55Z","timestamp":1345816855000},"page":"340-346","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":53,"title":["Clinical
