Abstract

With the advancement of imaging detection methods, the detection rate of intracranial aneurysms is increasing year by year. At the same time, the compressive cerebral neuropathy caused by the aneurysm itself and the brain injury caused by ruptured hemorrhage seriously affect the quality of life of patients.Because of the special blood flow pattern in aneurysms, hemodynamics has been a research hotspot in the field of aneurysms. At present, there is still no consensus on the study of hemodynamics in the occurrence, development and rupture mechanism of intracranial aneurysms.In this paper, the research progress of hemodynamic parameters such as shear force, blood flow pattern, computational fluid dynamics in intracranial aneurysms is summarized in combination with relevant literatures in recent years.
