Brain Aneurysm: Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment - WebMDBrain Anuerysm
An aneurysm is a balloon-like bulge or weakening of an artery wall. (Similar to a balloon on the side of a garden hose.) As the bulge grows it becomes thinner and weaker. It can become so thin that the blood pressure within can cause it to leak or burst open — a life-threatening ...
Brain aneurysm.Sometimes, an artery in your brain can develop a weak area that swells like a balloon. A brain aneurysm rupture causes a stroke, due to bleeding. Subdural hematoma.This condition can happen after an injury, such as a blow to your head. Bleeding on the surface of your brain...

Aneurysm: a bulge or weakening of an artery wall. Head trauma: fractures to the skull and penetrating wounds (gunshot) can damage an artery and cause bleeding. Bleeding disorders: hemophilia, sickle cell anemia, DIC, thrombocytopenia. Tumors: highly vascular tumors such as angiomas and metastatic...
Bleedingmay occur from a cerebralaneurysmor an arteriovenous malformation or because of uncontrolledhypertension(high blood pressure). Tumorsthat originate from brain cells or those that metastasizefrom other organs can affect brain function in two ways. The tumor can destroy brain cells so that their...
The diagnosis of dolichoectasia should be reserved for diffuse dilatation of brain arteries whereas the diagnosis of fusiform aneurysm should be reserved for segmental dilatation of an artery involving its whole circumference.94 Focal arterial dilatations arising from one side of the arterial wall ...
The pathology was divided as follows: cerebrovascular lesions—9.375% (brain aneurysm—n = 2 patients, cavernoma—n = 1) and cerebral tumors—90.625% (astrocytoma—n = 12, meningioma—n = 14, pituitary macroadenoma—n = 1, arachnoid cyst—n = 2) (Figure 1). Figure 1. Demographic ...
Aneurysm. A weakening in one of your blood vessel walls can make it swell. It can burst and bleed into your brain, leading to a stroke. Blood vessel abnormalities(arteriovenous malformations). You might be born with weakened blood vessels in and around your brain. But you might not know ab...
