📋Overview
Also referred to as a cerebral aneurysm, this condition involves a protrusion that forms when an arterial wall thins and bulges outward. The affected area may remain stable and asymptomatic, though the continuous pressure of blood flow can cause the vessel wall to change over time.
While many of these vascular abnormalities do not cause symptoms, they can potentially leak or rupture. Such an event leads to bleeding in the space between the brain and its surrounding membrane, a clinical occurrence known as a subarachnoid hemorrhage.
