Asymmetrical than symmetrical cerebral arterial bifurcations are more vulnerable to aneurysm presence.

Abstract:

:In order to investigate the role of lateral angle ratio (LA ratio) and daughter artery ratio (DA ratio) for predicting aneurysmal presence in main cerebral arterial bifurcations, three-dimensional cerebral angiographic data of major cerebral artery bifurcations were used for measurement of artery diameters and bifurcation angles including 115 middle cerebral arteries (MCAs), 59 basilar arteries (BAs), 35 internal carotid arteries (ICAs) and 115 anterior cerebral arteries (ACAs) with bifurcation aneurysms and control subjects of 1921 bifurcations with no aneurysms. The LA ratio (larger lateral angle/smaller lateral angle) and DA ratio (larger branch diameter/smaller branch diameter) were calculated, and ROC curve analysis of LA and DA ratios between normal and aneurysmal cases was performed. The LA and DA ratios of MCA bifurcations and the LA ratios of BA and ICA bifurcations with aneurysms were all significantly larger than normal bifurcations (P < 0.05), and the DA ratio of ACA bifurcations with aneurysms was significantly smaller than normal cases (P < 0.01). Moreover, the LA ratio or DA ratio between the normal and aneurysm cases in MCA, BA and ACA bifurcations demonstrated significant differences by ROC analysis (P < 0.01) except in the ICA bifurcations. No significant difference was observed (P > 0.05) between ruptured and unruptured aneurysms in MCA, BA, ICA and ACA bifurcations. In summary, normal MCA, BA and ICA bifurcations show symmetrical morphology in the lateral angles and daughter branches, whereas aneurysmal bifurcations show asymmetrical morphology. Normal ACA bifurcations have asymmetrical bilateral daughter branches while symmetrical branches are associated with ACA bifurcation aneurysm presence.
