OBJECTIVE: To review our experience and examine the size at which @entity1756 in our @entity1 population. METHODS: @entity1 charts and angiograms for all @entity1 admitted with a diagnosis of @entity510 to the Thomas @entity735 Hospital between April 1996 and March 2000 were reviewed. RESULTS: Of the 362 cases reviewed, definite measurements of the @entity1756 were obtained in 245. The data clearly showed that most @entity1756 presenting to our institution were less than 10 mm in diameter. We found that, regardless of location on the circle of Willis, 85.6% of all @entity439 presenting with @entity397 were less than 10 mm. Review by location shows that @entity438 most often presented with @entity397 at sizes less than 10 mm (94.4%). A large number of @entity397 communicating @entity438 also presented at sizes less than 10 mm (87.5%). This trend continued for all @entity439 sites in our review. The incidence of @entity510 in Western countries is estimated at 10 per 100,000 @entity1 per year. Recent reports have indicated that @entity439 than 10 mm in size are unlikely to @entity397 . CONCLUSION: We argue that the risk of small @entity1756 is not insignificant, especially those of the anterior communicating artery. Our findings indicate that surgery on unruptured @entity439 should not be predicated on @entity439 size alone.
