What is a cerebral aneurysm?
unlike a clot obstruction, cerebral aneurysms are a widening of the wall of the arteries of the brain. In some patients it takes on a cherry or raspberry shape.
The risk of aneurysms, according to the Mayo Clinic Institute, is that over time they can rupture, which can cause bleeding (also known as cerebrovascular accident hemorrhagic. A condition that can ultimately endanger life if not treated on time.
types of aneurysm
Although it may not seem like it, aneurysms are not the same, there are differences that we will explain below:
1- Fusiform aneurysm. In this there is a bulge on all sides that make up the artery.
2- Mycotic aneurysm. It occurs when an infection affects the arteries of the brain, which over time weakens them.
3- Saccular aneurysm or berry aneurysm. It is the most frequent and is distinguished by a round sac full of blood that protrudes from the artery. What makes it simulate the image of a bush on which cherries or raspberries hang.

How does an aneurysm start?
In most cases the aneurysms do not give symptoms, there are even people who can have them from their childhood. The reason is that this condition occurs slowly, when an area of an artery in the brain begins to weaken until it collapses.
Los aneurysms that are had from birth are called congenital, and over the years these can break.
aneurysm symptoms
Aneurysms as such do not manifest symptoms. Actually, the way they can be detected early is through an MRI or CT scan of the brain. Although aneurysms can give symptoms, when they let out small amounts of blood, which can warn us that we are at risk:

5- Loss of consciousness
6- Changes in vision
How serious is a brain aneurysm?
It is actually very dangerous, about 15% of brain aneurysm patients die before reaching the hospital. This is because the damage to the brain is severe. This does not mean that those who arrive at emergencies will survive.
How are brain aneurysms treated?
He treatment is usually surgical and it is divided into two: clipping that consists in the placement of a staple, the other is candovascular repair, a very small spiral is placed inside and outside the artery.
