Customer question:
What are the consequences of a brain aneurysm? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
The consequences of a brain aneurysm can vary and depend on several factors, including the location, size, whether the aneurysm has ruptured, the speed of treatment, and the individual's overall health. Check general information about aneurysms.
Some consequences of a brain aneurysm may include:
- Subarachnoid hemorrhage: A ruptured brain aneurysm can cause bleeding into the space between the meninges, which is called a subarachnoid hemorrhage. This can be a life-threatening condition that requires urgent treatment and can cause permanent neurological damage or even death.
- Stroke: If a ruptured aneurysm causes bleeding in the brain tissue, it can lead to a stroke. The consequences of a stroke depend on the area of the brain that is affected but can include loss of motor function, speech problems, cognitive problems, and even disability.
- Neurological disorders: An aneurysm pressing on nearby nerves or brain structures can cause neurological symptoms, such as headaches, numbness, weakness, balance, visual disturbances, and speech problems.
