Association of Intracranial Aneurysms with Meningiomas, Pituitary Adenomas, and Gliomas: Review of Possible Interrelationships
Figure 1
Concurrence of tumor and aneurysm by tumor type. (a) The pie chart illustrates the sum of reported concurrence of tumor aneurysm from the literature review. Pituitary tumor concurrent with aneurysm (34.2%) was more frequent in the review of the literature than the occurence of pituitary tumors alone in the national database (14.1%). From the greatest to the least, concurrent tumor and aneurysm identified were meningioma (34.9%), pituitary (34.2%), and glioma (17.8%) versus the incidence of tumor alone (b) which is estimated as meningioma (35.5%), glioma (23.9%), and pituitary (14.1%) (http://cbtrus.org/ and [5]).
