Morphological predictors of posterior communicating artery aneurysm development: a CT angiography-based evaluation

AÇArda ÇolakoğluASAysegül Idil SoyluFUFatih Uzunkaya

Key Points

  • To investigate how certain features of parent arteries relate to the development of posterior communicating artery (PComA) aneurysms.
  • Evaluated morphological characteristics of parent arteries using CT angiography
  • Assessed angles and diameters of internal carotid artery (ICA) segments
  • Investigated the presence of hypoplasia or aplasia in specific arterial segments
  • Found significant associations between PComA aneurysms and ICA-PComA angles
  • Noted important correlations with ICA1 and ICA2 diameters
  • Observed links between aneurysm presence and ipsilateral P1 and contralateral A1 segment hypoplasia or aplasia

Abstract

In our study investigating the morphological characteristics of parent arteries associated with PComA aneurysms, we demonstrated significant associations between the presence of PComA aneurysms and certain morphological features of the parent arteries, particularly ICA-PComA angles, ICA1 and ICA2 diameters, and the presence of ipsilateral P1 and contralateral A1 segment hypoplasia or aplasia. These findings are consistent with existing evidence suggesting that arterial morphological parameters influence local hemodynamics, thereby potentially contributing to aneurysm formation.
