ABSTRACT

Intracranial aneurysm (IA) is a pathology that in most cases does not present symptoms in the patient and is still not well understood in relation to the interaction of factors that develop it. Therefore, determining methods to assess risk factors and assist in medical diagnosis is of great importance. With that, the objective of this work was to carry out the hemodynamic study of the flow of fluids inside a real IA. For this, numerical simulations were performed in stationary regime using the Ansys, Fluent software. Therefore, it was possible to show that the use of the CFD tool has great potential in the investigation, diagnosis and definition of treatments, for pathologies such as intracranial aneurysm.
