Cerebral Aneurysm Treatment, Cerebral Aneurys Follow

A cerebral aneurysm is an abnormal swelling of a blood vessel wall inside the brain. A cerebral aneurysm occurs at a weak point in the wall of a blood vessel (artery) that supplies blood to the brain. The bulging aneurysm can put pressure on a nerve or surrounding brain tissue. It may also leak or rupture, spilling blood into the surrounding tissue (called a hemorrhage). Some cerebral aneurysms, particularly those that are very small, do not bleed or cause other problems.  Causes of Cerebral AneurysmAneurysms may result from congenital defects, pre existing conditions such as high blood pressure and atherosclerosis (the buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries), or head trauma. Cerebral aneurysms occur more commonly in adults than in children but they may occur at any age. They are more common in women than in men, by a ratio of 2 to 1. A person may inherit the tendency to form aneurysms, or aneurysms may develop because of hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) and aging.
