      <p><i>Background and Purpose</i>: Using postrupture morphology to predict rupture risk of an intracranial aneurysm may be inaccurate because of possible morphological changes at or around the time of rupture. The present study aims at comparing morphology from angiograms obtained prior to and just after rupture and to evaluate whether postrupture morphology is an adequate surrogate for rupture ...
    • Predicting rupture of intracranial aneurysms: morphological and hemodynamic parameters. 

      Skodvin, Torbjørn Øygard (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2018-04-27)
      BACKGROUND: Because of extended use of cerebral imaging, unruptured intracranial aneurysms are increasingly discovered as incidental findings. Management of unruptured aneurysms is controversial because patients and clinicians must weigh the risks of prophylactic endovascular or surgical treatment against the uncertain risk of rupture. We aimed to investigate the use of hemodynamic and morphological ...
    • Survey of European neurosurgeons’ management of unruptured intracranial aneurysms: inconsistent practice and organization 

      Skodvin, Torbjørn Øygard; Kloster, Roar; Sorteberg, Wilhelm; Isaksen, Jørgen Gjernes (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-01)
      Background - The discovery of an unruptured intracranial aneurysm creates a dilemma between observation and treatment. Neurosurgeons’ routines for risk assessment and treatment decision-making are unknown. The position of evidence-based medicine in European neurosurgery is considered to be weak, high-grade guidelines do not exist and variations between institutions are probable. We aimed to explore ...
