The Interventional Neuroradiological Treatment of Intracranial Aneurysms

  • Chapter
Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery

Part of the book series: Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery ((NEUROSURGERY,volume 24))

Abstract

Normal arteries of the brain are thinner and stiffer than extracranial arteries. They are composed of four layers: adventitia, media, internal elastic lamina, and intima. An external elastic lamina is absent. Intra-cranial arteries have no support from surrounding tissue while they pass through the subarachnoid space [60].
