Background and Purpose-Wall shear stress (WSS) is one of the main pathogenic factors in the development of saccular cerebral aneurysms. The magnitude and distribution of the WSS in and around human middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms were analyzed using the method of computed fluid dynamics (CFD).Methods-Twenty mathematical models of MCA vessels with aneurysms were created by 3-dimensional computed tomographic angiography. CFD calculations were performed by using our original finite-element solver with the assumption of Newtonian fluid property for blood and the rigid wall property for the vessel and the aneurysm.Results-The maximum WSS in the calculated region tended to occur near the neck of the aneurysm, not in its tip or bleb. The magnitude of the maximum WSS was 14.39+/-6.21 N/m(2), which was 4-times higher than the average WSS in the vessel region (3.64+/-1.25 N/m(2)). The average WSS of the aneurysm region (1.64+/-1.16 N/m(2)) was significantly lower than that of the vessel region (P
