Aneurysm

Aneurysm is an abnormal, bulging area on the wall of the brain artery resulting in a weak, thin wall that can burst and cause bleeding into tissues of the brain.

Common Symptoms:

Unruptured brain aneurysm:
- Dilated pupils
- Double vision
- Localized headaches
Ruptured brain aneurysm warning signs:
- Localized headaches
- Nausea & vomiting
- Blurred or double vision
- Sensitivity to light
- Loss of sensation
- Loss of consciousness

Unruptured aneurysms may or may not have symptoms. Several deciding factors are taken into consideration before determining the course of treatment such as: the risk that the aneurysm will rupture, size and location of the aneurysm, and health of the patient, and the family history.
