Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As is well known, unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) represent the most frequently diagnosed vascular malformation of the brain and improvements in the availability and resolution of neuro-imaging have led to increasing incidental findings.
Post-rupture morbidity and mortality rates are still significantly high; thus, identifying and treating lesions that are more likely to rupture represent a crucial step.
However, despite the large amount of data available, factors predicting the growth or rupture of UIAs remain under debate. Even the optimum follow-up required for UIAs is yet to be fully defined because if there is a school of thought that aneurysms >7 mm in diameter should be secured either by clipping or coiling, it is unclear whether patients harbouring smaller aneurysms should also be offered treatment in the presence of other risk factors such as smoking, hypertension, abnormal morphology and family history of intracranial aneurysms.
Moreover, among patients who are treated conservatively, the most appropriate duration and frequency of imaging follow-up are unclear.
This Special Issue will identify the gaps in the diagnosis and management of UIAs based on a combination of original research and review papers.
Topics will include:
- The epidemiology of UIAs;
- Diagnostic approaches to UIAs;
- Role and frequency of follow-up;
- Interventions for UIAs.

Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
