INTRACRANIAL ANEURYSMS
The equations on the left represent the streamlines of a toroidal vortex structure representative of blood flow inside an intracranial saccular aneurysm. These streamlines are graphically depicted in the figure on the right.
The figure on the left is a plot of the stress in a spherical membrane subject to an internal toroidal vortex, as demonstrated in the figure above. This model is representative of saccular aneurysms that form at arterial bifurcations inside the brain
