Cerebral aneurysm, nonruptured - what does this mean

A cerebral aneurysm, nonruptured, occurs when a weak spot in the wall of a brain artery balloons out, forming a pouch. this weak spot can be caused by a congenital defect, or it can be caused by a number of factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, and drug abuse. if left untreated, the aneurysm can grow and eventually rupture, causing a stroke or death.

What happens during the disease - cerebral aneurysm, nonruptured

Cerebral aneurysms are caused by a weakening of the wall of a blood vessel in the brain, which can be due to the presence of a congenital defect or acquired damage, such as a head injury or hypertension. this weakened wall can cause the vessel to bulge, creating a balloon-like structure that can eventually burst and cause a hemorrhagic stroke. nonruptured aneurysms are typically asymptomatic, and can only be detected through imaging tests.

Clinical Pattern

How does a doctor diagnose

  1. Physical exam to check for signs of aneurysm
  2. Imaging tests such as CT scan, MRI, or angiogram
  3. Cerebral angiography
  4. Transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound
  5. Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA)
  6. Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA)

Treatment and Medical Assistance

Main goal of the treatment: To reduce the risk of a rupture and reduce the size of the aneurysm.
  • Regular monitoring of the aneurysm, including imaging studies such as CT or MRI scans.
  • Medication to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of rupture.
  • Surgery to clip the aneurysm.
  • Endovascular coiling, a minimally invasive procedure that involves inserting a catheter into the artery to place a coil in the aneurysm.
  • Stenting, a procedure that involves inserting a metal mesh tube into the artery to help support the aneurysm.
  • Embolization, a procedure that involves injecting a material into the aneurysm to block the flow of blood.

Cerebral aneurysm, nonruptured - Prevention

The best way to prevent a nonruptured cerebral aneurysm is to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including avoiding smoking, reducing alcohol intake, and managing blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels. additionally, regular check-ups with a healthcare provider can help identify any signs of an aneurysm early, allowing for proper treatment and management.
