About Brain (Cerebral) Aneurysm

定义

A brain 动脉瘤 is a bulge in a blood vessel in the brain. The bulge is filled with blood. It can put pressure on parts of the brain. The blood vessel can also burst and ca使用 bleeding in the brain. Finding an 动脉瘤 early can help prevent severe or fatal problems in some people.

An 动脉瘤 is a weakened blood vessel in the brain that collects blood. The bulging, blood-filled pocket can put pressure on parts of the brain, pressing on nearby nerves. This can ca使用 symptoms or ca使用 the blood vessel to rupture (hemorrhage).

原因

Brain 动脉瘤s are ca使用d by a weakness in the wall of a brain 动脉. This may be due to aging, genes, and some health issues.

风险因素

Brain 动脉瘤s are more common in older adults and women. Other things that raise the risk are:

症状

A person may have:

  • Pain behind the eye
  • 麻木
  • 弱点
  • Changes in eyesight
  • Drooping eyelid
  • A large pupil (black area) in the eye
  • Problems speaking

A leaking or burst 动脉瘤 may ca使用:

  • 头疼。
  • Na使用a and vomiting
  • 脖子僵硬
  • Confusion or sleepiness
  • Loss of consciousness
  • 癫痫发作

诊断。

The doctor will ask about symptoms and past health. A physical exam will be done. Tests may include:

治疗

治疗 depends on the type, size, and site of the 动脉瘤. It also depends on the person's health.

If the 动脉瘤 is not leaking or burst, options may be:

  • Watching for symptoms, leaking, and changes in the size of the 动脉瘤
  • Medicines to treat:
    • Any underlying conditions—and those that raise the risk of a burst
    • 症状 of the 动脉瘤

Procedures may be done to prevent or treat a burst 动脉瘤. 它们包括:

  • Endovascular procedures to block blood flow to the 动脉瘤, such as:
    • Embolization—Uses a threaded tube to place coils in the 动脉瘤
    • Flow diversion—Uses a threaded tube to place a stent outside the 动脉瘤
  • Microvascular clipping—Brain surgery to clip and cut off blood flow to the 动脉瘤

Therapy can help with physical function, speech, and coping for people who had a burst 动脉瘤.

预防

A brain 动脉瘤 cannot always be prevented. To help reduce the risk:

  • Control high blood pressure.
  • or drink too much 酒精.
  • 不 使用 illegal drugs.
