A cerebral aneurysm is the dilation, bulging, or ballooning-out of part of the wall of an artery in the brain. Cerebral aneurysms can occur at any age, although they are more common in adults than in children and are slightly more common in women than in men. The signs and symptoms of an unruptured cerebral aneurysm will partly depend on its size and rate of growth. For example, a small, unchanging aneurysm will generally produce no symptoms, whereas a larger aneurysm that is steadily growing may produce symptoms such as loss of feeling in the face or problems with the eyes. Immediately after an aneurysm ruptures, an individual may experience such symptoms as a sudden and unusually severe headache, nausea, vision impairment, vomiting, and loss of consciousness.

About our Health information Abdominal aortic aneurysm Published by Bupa's Health Information Team, July 2010. This factsheet is for people who have an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), or who would like information about it. AAA is a widening or bulging of the aorta (the largest blood vessel) in the abdomen. AAA usually occurs at a weak spot in the aortic wall. It often doesn't cause any symptoms, but if the aneurysm widens rapidly it may cause abdominal pain which can be severe. If it bursts (ruptures) this can be fatal. About abdominal aortic aneurysm Symptoms of abdominal aortic aneurysm Complications of abdominal aortic aneurysm Causes of abdominal aortic aneurysm ... Sources About abdominal aortic aneurysm The aorta is the largest artery in your body. It carries all the blood that is pumped out of your heart and distributes it, via its many branches, to all the organs of your body. The aorta passes upwards from your heart before curving backwards and downwards and travelling through your chest (the thoracic aorta) and into your abdomen (the abdominal aorta). The aorta is usually 2 to 3cm (about one inch) in diameter. A weak spot in the aorta can cause it to bulge outwards (called an aneurysm). If the bulge occurs in the aorta as it goes through your chest, it's called a thoracic aortic aneurysm. For more information about thoracic aortic aneurysm see the

What is a Brain Aneurysm? A brain aneurysm, also called a cerebral or intracranial aneurysm, is an abnormal bulging outward of one of the arteries in the brain. It is estimated that up to one in 15 people in the United States will develop a brain aneurysm during their lifetime. Brain aneurysms are often discovered when they rupture, causing bleeding into the brain or the space closely surrounding the brain called the subarachnoid space, causing a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Subarachnoid hemorrhage from a ruptured brain aneurysm can lead to a hemorrhagic stroke, brain damage and death. The main goals of treatment once an aneurysm has ruptured are to stop the bleeding and potential permanent damage to the brain and to reduce the risk of recurrence. Unruptured brain aneurysms are sometimes treated to prevent rupture.

DCI Home Heart and Blood Vessel Diseases Aneurysm : What Is ... What Is ... Types Other Names Causes ... Links What Is an Aneurysm? An aneurysm (AN-u-rism) is a balloon-like bulge in an artery. Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood from your heart to your body. Arteries have thick walls to withstand normal blood pressure. However, certain medical problems, genetic conditions, and trauma can damage or injure artery walls. The force of blood pushing against the weakened or injured walls can cause an aneurysm. An aneurysm can grow large and burst (rupture) or cause a dissection. Rupture causes dangerous bleeding inside the body. A dissection is a split in one or more layers of the artery wall. The split causes bleeding into and along the layers of the artery wall. Both conditions are often fatal. Overview An aneurysm that occurs in the part of the aorta that's in the chest is called a thoracic (tho-RAS-ik) aortic aneurysm. An aneurysm that occurs in the part of the aorta that's in the abdomen is called an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Aneurysms also can occur in other arteries, but these types of aneurysm are less common. This article will focus on aortic aneurysms.

Defects in some of the parts of the artery wall may be responsible. Common locations for aneurysms include: The major artery from the heart (the aorta) The brain (cerebral aneurysm) In the leg behind the knee popliteal artery aneurysm) Intestine (mesenteric artery aneurysm) An artery in the spleen (splenic artery aneurysm) High blood pressure, high cholesterol, and cigarette smoking may raise your risk of certain types of aneurysms. High blood pressure is thought to play a role in abdominal aortic aneurysms. Atherosclerotic disease (cholesterol buildup in arteries) may also lead to the formation of some aneurysms. Pregnancy is often linked to the formation and rupture of splenic artery aneurysms.

Symptoms of Brain Aneurysms Ruptured Cerebral Aneurysm Symptoms Sometimes patients describing "the worst headache in my life" are actually experiencing one of the symptoms of brain aneurysms related to having a rupture. Other ruptured cerebral aneurysm symptoms include: Nausea and vomiting Stiff neck or neck pain Blurred vision or double vision Pain above and behind the eye Dilated pupils Sensitivity to light Loss of sensation Unruptured Cerebral Aneurysm Symptoms Before an aneurysm ruptures, patients often experience no symptoms of brain aneurysms. In about 40 percent of cases, people with unruptured aneurysms will experience some or all of the following cerebral aneurysm symptoms: Peripheral vision deficits Thinking or processing problems Speech complications Perceptual problems Sudden changes in behavior Loss of balance and coordination Decreased concentration Short-term memory difficulty Fatigue Because the symptoms of brain aneurysms can also be associated with other medical conditions, diagnostic neuroradiology is regularly used to identify both ruptured and unruptured brain aneurysms.

An aneurysm is a bulging, weakened area in the wall of a blood vessel resulting in an abnormal widening or ballooning greater than 50 percent of the normal diameter (width). An aneurysm may occur in any blood vessel, but is most often seen in an artery rather than a vein. An aneurysm may be located in many areas of the body, such as blood vessels of the brain, the aorta (the largest artery in the body), the intestines, the kidney, the spleen, and the vessels in the legs. The most common location of an aneurysm is the aorta, which carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the body. An aneurysm can be characterized by its location, shape, and cause. The shape of an aneurysm is described as being fusiform or saccular, which helps to identify a true aneurysm. The more common fusiform-shaped aneurysm bulges or balloons out on all sides of the blood vessel. A saccular-shaped aneurysm bulges or balloons out only on one side. A pseudoaneurysm, or false aneurysm, is an enlargement of only the outer layer of the blood vessel wall. A false aneurysm may be the result of a prior surgery or trauma. Sometimes, a tear can occur on the inside layer of the vessel resulting in blood filling in between the layers of the blood vessel wall creating a pseudoaneurysm.
