Despite advancements in neuroimaging, false positive diagnoses of intracranial aneurysms remain a significant concern. This article examines the causes, prevalence, and implications of such false-positive diagnoses. We discuss how conditions like arterial occlusion with vascular stump formation and infundibular widening can mimic aneurysms, particularly in the anterior circulation. The article compares various imaging modalities, including computer tomography angiogram, magnetic resonance imaging/angiography, and digital subtraction angiogram, highlighting their strengths and limitations. We emphasize the importance of accurate differentiation to avoid unnecessary surgical interventions. The potential of emerging technologies, such as high-resolution vessel wall imaging and deep neural networks for automated detection, is explored as promising avenues for improving diagnostic accuracy. This manuscript underscores the need for continued research and clinical vigilance in the diagnosis of intracranial aneurysms.
