What is an Aneurysm?
- Another significant condition that leads to cerebral hemorrhage is the rupture of small balloons- bubles in the brain's vessels called aneurysms, causing bleeding.
- These balloons-bubles are congenital, and they remain without causing any problems as long as they don't rupture and cause bleeding.
- The rupture of these balloons-bubles can be due to hypertension, or sometimes, it can develop for no apparent reason, resulting in a severe headache.
- In 20-30% of patients, a headache that spreads to the neck may occur 1-2 weeks before the hemorrhage. Intense headache after the onset of bleeding is accompanied by nausea, vomiting, visual or speech disorders, and consciousness disturbances.
- These symptoms vary depending on the location of the balloon and the extent of the bleeding. In such a case, one should immediately apply to the hospital.
- If the diagnosis of an aneurysm hemorrhage is made after examinations, treatment is either by surgery or reaching the vessel that developed aneurysm using catheters by interventional radiologists.
