Rupture of an intracranial aneurysm (IA), an outpouching or sac-like widening of a cerebral artery, leads to a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a sudden-onset disease that can lead to severe disability and death. Several risk factors such as smoking, hypertension, and excessive alcohol intake are associated with subarachnoid hemorrhage (summary by Krischek and Inoue, 2006).
