Summary:Lepski et al discuss the article entitled "Bleeding risk of small intracranial aneurysms in a population treated in a reference center," and would like to thank Trivelato et al for their comments. Nevertheless, they noticed a misunderstanding that we would like to clarify. Their report did not intend to be a prospective epidemiological study about the risk of rupture of intracranial aneurysms. Plenty of studies have addressed this issue already, although the question still remains partially unanswered. Their study reports the scenario of a specific area in southern Germany, with a population of 3.5 million, and where the University Clinic of Tuebingen is a reference center in a network of many regional hospitals also involved in the treatment of ruptured aneurysms.
