Coiled patients 70 to 79 years old had lower morbidity (21.3% versus 33.8%) and mortality (2.8% versus 11.3%) compared to patients who underwent medical management and similar mortality (21.3% versus 27.2%) and mortality (2.8% versus 4.8%) to patients who underwent clipping. Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that factors associated with discharge status were age, poor mFisher grade, poor WFNS grade, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, aneurysms 4 mm or larger, and middle cerebral artery aneurysms.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Elderly patients treated with EVT had significantly less morbidity and mortality than those treated with clipping and medical management.

Headache was the most frequent initial symptom (75.6%). The lateral ventricles near the foramen of Monro were the most common location (66.10%). Tumors expressed neuroglial (n = 19) or only glial (n = 20) markers. In nine of 59 cases, genetic studies ruled out germinal TSC1/2 mutations; in 13 cases (22.03%), somatic mutations in those genes were identified. \"Solitary SEGAs\" included tumors with neuroglial profile and classic morphological pattern, and tumors with only glial markers. It is necessary to confirm in SEGA-like tumors, the dual nature with at least glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), neurofilaments, and synaptophysin antibodies. Screening for TSC1/2 mutations, and probably of the NF type 1 gene, is recommended for both germline and somatic mutations.
