What Is A Brain Aneurysm?A brain aneurysm is also referred to as intracranial aneurysm or cerebral aneurysm. The weak and abnormal spot on a blood vessel that results in an outward ballooning or bulging of the arterial wall is referred to as brain or cerebral aneurysm. This aneurysm can create a sac from one wall, can include all the walls of the blood vessel or can even dissect all the vessel walls. Any vessel in the body can get affected by an aneurysm but presence of aneurysm in the head can result in serious medical condition. An aneurysm in the head ruptures resulting in a hemorrhagic stroke that can cause brain damage and even death. These aneurysms are generally found in the subarachnoid space and accounts for about 90% of the subarachnoid hemorrhages.
An aneurysm varies in size from 1/8 inch to approximately 1 inch. Aneurysms which are bigger than 1 inch are known as giant aneurysm and are very hard to treat.
