Abstract Objective: To observe fetal origin of posterior cerebral artery(FTP) accompanied with intracranial aneurysm by CT angiography(CTA). To investigate whether FTP is the risk factor of intracranial aneurysm. To analyze clinical datas(including age, gender, smoking history, hypertension, coronary heart disease and diabetes) of FTP patients whether accompanied with intracranial aneurysm. Methods: Three doctors reviewed intracranial CTA of 155 consecutive patients. Whether the FTP existed or not was observed firstly. Then, FTP type and intracranial aneurysms accompanied with FTP were observed carefully, including aneurysms’ location, size, and subarachnoid hemorrhage. The clinical data including smoking history, hypertension, coronary heart disease and diabetes of patients with FTP were interviewed by telephone. The incidence of FTP, intracranial aneurysms accompanied with FTP and non-FTP were calculated respectively. Gender difference about FTP was analyzed by χ2 test. The incidence of intracranial aneurysms(including accompanied with FTP and non-FTP) and their clinical data were analyzed by Fisher’s exact test. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate weather FTP is the risk factor of intracranial aneurysm. Results: The FTP incidence was 16.13%(25/155) in overall, 12.12%(12/99) in male, 23.21%(13/56) in female. There was no gender difference in FTP incidence(P=0.071). The incidence of intracranial aneurysms accompanied with FTP and non-FTP was 20%(5/25), 6.15%(8/135), respectively. There was statistical difference in the incidence of intracranial aneurysms between FTP and non-FTP(P=0.038). FTP is the risk factor of intracranial aneurysm(P=0.031). There were statistical differences between intracranial aneurysms accompanied with FTP and non-FTP on gender, hypertension, coronary heart disease and diabetes(P<0.05). On the contrary, there were no statistical difference between above on age and smoking(P>0.05). Conclusions: The incidence of intracranial aneurysms about female patients with FTP is significantly higher when they suffered hypertension, coronary heart disease or diabetes.
