What Are the Treatments for a Brain Aneurysm?
A brain aneurysm is a sac-like formation in a weakened area of a blood vessel in the brain. Filled with blood, the sac often causes no major symptoms; however, it may leak or rupture if the walls of the vessel become too fragile. Treatment for aneurysms typically involves neurosurgery; however, medical treatments are also available for patients not suited to surgery and to treat the complications of ruptured or leaking aneurysms.
