A brain aneurysm is a weak area or bulge in a blood vessel that may burst and result in a potentially fatal haemorrhage. It develops when the vessel wall weakens and becomes thin, as a result of trauma, high blood pressure, or congenital disorders. Until they burst, brain aneurysms cause no symptoms at all, except for excruciating headaches, nausea, and neurological impairments. MRIs and angiography are common imaging techniques used to diagnose them. Surgical clipping or endovascular coiling are two possible treatment options to prevent rupture, depending on the location and size of the aneurysm. The hazards related to brain aneurysms must be reduced as much as possible through early detection and treatment.Medagg helps you in getting the best doctors for brain aneursyms
unnoticed (no symptoms).
Could be unintentionally found while getting imaging done for other health issues.
Unruptured aneurysms may occasionally result in symptoms such cranial nerve compression, localized headaches, and eye pain.

Throwing up and nausea.
Tense neck.
Light sensitivity (photophobia).
Double or blurry vision.
Disorientation or change in mental condition.
Brain seizures
A state of confusion
Trouble understanding or speaking.
Genetics: The risk may be raised by a family history of brain aneurysms or by specific hereditary diseases such Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).
High Blood Pressure (Hypertension): Over time, persistently high blood pressure can damage blood vessel walls, increasing their vulnerability to the formation of aneurysms.
SMoking: The use of tobacco products increases the risk of brain aneurysm development and rupture.
Age: People between the ages of 35 and 60 have the highest incidence of aneurysm development, which increases with age.
Family History: Your risk may be increased if you have a parent, sibling, or child who is a first-degree relative and has a history of brain aneurysms.
Specific Medical Conditions: fibromuscular dysplasia and coarctation of the aorta, two congenital cardiac conditions, are linked to a higher risk of aneurysm formation.
Drug Abuse: The risk of aneurysm formation can be raised by using drugs such as cocaine or amphetamines.
Head Trauma: Although it is uncommon, severe head trauma or injury can result in the development of aneurysms.
Brain aneurysms can be treated by endovascular embolization, a minimally invasive treatment. To get to the location of the aneurysm, a catheter is inserted through an artery. Little coils, stents, or other embolic materials are inserted into the aneurysm via the catheter to obstruct blood flow and lower the risk of rupture. Depending on the features of the aneurysm, this treatment can be done in conjunction with surgical clipping or as a stand-alone intervention to assist stop further growth. Compared to open surgery, this approach is less intrusive and requires a shorter recovery period. Get in touch with us to understand your problem better!
A non-invasive medical method called stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) treats brain abnormalities, such as some forms of brain aneurysms, by using highly focused, targeted radiation. A concentrated dose is administered to the afflicted area during SRS by aiming a radiation beam directly at the aneurysm. This exact targeting lessens the likelihood of damaging nearby healthy tissue. For people who qualify, SRS provides a less intrusive option compared to traditional surgical techniques

Imaging tests that can see the aneurysm, including angiography, CT angiography, or MRI, are usually used to make the diagnosis.
Depending on the size and location of the aneurysm, treatment options may include stereotactic radiosurgery, endovascular embolization, or surgical clipping.
Certain minor, unruptured aneurysms may be watched instead of treated, depending on their particular characteristics.
The course of recovery varies based on the type of treatment used and personal circumstances, but it may entail hospital stays and rehabilitation.
Although aneurysms cannot always be avoided, risk factors, blood pressure control and quitting smoking can all help lower the likelihood.
