Angiographic study assesses growth rates of intracranial aneurysms, indicating variability and clinical implications.

This research evaluates the growth rates of intracranial aneurysms to determine if any standard rate exists.
Conducted angiographic studies on 67 patients with 82 aneurysms over intervals of days to 10 years.
Examined records to assess size changes in aneurysms.
No consistent growth rate was identified for aneurysms.
Inherent inaccuracies in measurement methods may contribute to the variability.
Concludes that monitoring is risky except for potentially the smallest aneurysms.

Allcock et al. (1976) studied this question.
