What is it about?
Computer simulation has been used to study brain aneurysm for more than two decades. However, there are many simplifications in the simulation process which render the results unhelpful to physicians and biologists. This article analyzes the body of scientific literature on this topic to highlight the current problems in the simulation of brain aneurysm. The article also draws a road-map for next-generation simulations to improve our understanding of this fatal neurovascular disorder.

Why is it important?
There are hundreds of scholarly papers are published every year on the computer simulation of brain aneurysm. However, these simulation studies have achieved only limited progress in the aneurysm clinical management. Brain aneurysm cases are still rising, fatality rate is unchanged, and there's no preventive medication until the present moment. Our study aims at correcting the contemporary paradigm of aneurysm simulation using computational fluid dynamics, so better progress could be achieved.
Perspectives
This study should act as a blueprint for future CFD based hemodynamics research to improve the reproducability and outcome of such research works
