Factors Affecting Formation and Growth of Intracranial Aneurysms Stroke 32:485-491, Juvela,S.,et al, 2001 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract We sought to investigate factors determining growth rate of unruptured intracranial aneurysms as well as formation of new (de novo) aneurysms in patients from a time period when unruptured aneurysms were not treated surgically. Women and ci garette smokers are at increased risk for intracranial aneurysm formation and growth. Cigarette smoking in particular hastens aneurysm growth. Cessation of smoking is important for patients with unruptured aneurysms and possibly also for those with a pr ior subarachnoid hemorrhage.
