  • Objective: The differentiation between an aneurysm and an infundibulum with time-of-flight MRA is often difficult. However, this distinction is important because it affects further patient follow-up. The purpose of this study was to assess the added value of high resolution 7 Tesla MRA for investigating small vascular lesions suspect for an aneurysm or an infundibulum.Materials and methods: We included patients in whom an intracranial vascular lesion was detected in our University Hospital and in whom the discrimination between a true aneurysms or an infundibulum could not be made on conventional 1.5 or 3 T MRI were included in the study. All patients underwent an additional 7 T time-of-flight MRA at higher spatial resolution.Results: We included 6 patients. The age range of the patients was 35–65 years and 5 of them were women. 1 out of 6 had a 1.5 T MRI, the other 5 patients had a 3 T MRI previous to the 7 T MRI. The lesion size varied between 0.9 mm and 2.0 mm. In 5 of the 6 patients the presence of an infundibulum could be proven using the high resolution of the 7 T MRA. All patients tolerated the 7 T MRI well.Conclusion: Our results suggest that high resolution and contrast of 7 T MRA provides added diagnostic value in discriminating between intracranial aneurysms and infundibula. This finding may have important consequences for patient follow-up and comfort because it might reduce unnecessary follow-up exams and decrease uncertainty about the diagnosis. Larger studies, however, are needed to confirm our findings.
