  		Fig 2. A 54-year-old woman with 3 untreated additional aneurysms unchanged after 5 years. A and B, Right internal carotid angiogram (A) and vertebral angiogram (B) show additional aneurysms on the carotid cavernous sinus, middle cerebral artery, and superior cerebellar artery (arrows). C, MRA after 5 years demonstrates unchanged size of all 3 aneurysms (arrows).
