Little is known about activities that trigger rupture of an intracranial aneurysm. Knowledge on what triggers aneurysmal rupture increases insight into the pathophysiology and facilitates development of prevention strategies. We therefore aimed to identify and quantify trigger factors for aneurysmal rupture and to gain insight into the pathophysiology.
