Abstract
We describe the development and design of a database for auditing patients with intracranial aneurysms and their endovascular treatment. The database has been used since 1992. Our department's version now contains records of over 800 patients and well over 1000 aneurysms. The advantages of a relatio nal database for this type of audit are discussed. Copies of the software c an be obtained free of charge from the authors.
