Brain Aneurysm Management

A brain aneurysm is a weakened, bulging area in a cerebral artery wall where sustained blood pressure can cause progressive enlargement and in some cases, rupture, leading to life-threatening bleeding in or around the brain. Image-guided diagnosis and minimally invasive endovascular treatment offer a precise, effective pathway to securing the aneurysm and preventing its most serious consequences.

What is a Brain Aneurysm?

A brain aneurysm forms when the wall of a cerebral artery weakens, allowing blood pressure to push outward and create a localised bulge. Many aneurysms remain silent for years causing no symptoms until they enlarge or rupture. This is precisely why early imaging and careful clinical monitoring are essential. When identified, many aneurysms can be secured through minimally invasive endovascular techniques, significantly reducing the risk of rupture and its potentially catastrophic consequences.

Symptoms & Warning Signs

Remember the Warning Signs

S

Sudden Severe Headache

A headache of unprecedented severity — often described as a thunderclap — is a cardinal sign of aneurysm rupture. Treat it as an emergency.

V

Vision Changes

Sudden blurring, double vision, or a drooping eyelid may indicate pressure from an enlarging aneurysm on surrounding neural structures.

N

Neck Stiffness

Stiffness or pain in the neck following a severe headache may signal bleeding around the brain and warrants immediate investigation.

T

Time to Call

If any of these signs are present, seek emergency care without delay. Early intervention is the single most important factor in outcome.

The Treatment Journey

A structured clinical pathway combining advanced imaging, careful risk stratification, and precise endovascular intervention followed by close monitoring and rehabilitation support.

Structured Neuro-Emergency Response

Integrated Care

Post‑Procedure Care & Recovery

Following aneurysm treatment, care shifts immediately to neurological stabilization, structured rehabilitation, and long-term surveillance.

Immediate Recovery

Post-procedure monitoring in ICU or high-dependency unit, with continuous neurological observation to detect vasospasm, re-bleeding, or early complications.

Home Care Plan

A tailored rehabilitation plan addressing neurological recovery, activity, and medications for gradual return to daily function.

Follow-Up Consultation

Scheduled MR angiography or digital subtraction angiography to confirm durable aneurysm occlusion and guide long-term management.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes a brain aneurysm?

Brain aneurysms develop from a combination of factors including chronic hypertension, smoking, a family history of aneurysms, and inherent structural weakness in the arterial wall which may in some cases be present from birth. Certain connective tissue disorders and polycystic kidney disease are also associated with a higher incidence.

Endovascular coiling is a minimally invasive procedure performed under angiographic guidance, in which a catheter is navigated through the arterial system to the site of the aneurysm. Tiny platinum coils are then deployed within the aneurysm sac to promote clotting, eliminate blood flow into the aneurysm, and reduce the risk of rupture without the need for open cranial surgery in most cases.

Yes, in carefully selected cases. Small aneurysms with favourable characteristics low-risk morphology, stable size, and absence of symptoms may be managed conservatively with periodic imaging surveillance rather than immediate intervention. The decision is made through an individualised risk assessment that weighs the aneurysm's specific features against the patient's age, health status, and overall risk profile.

Every Second Counts

A brain aneurysm identified early is a brain aneurysm that can be treated. If you or someone you know is experiencing sudden severe headache, vision changes, or any neurological warning signs do not wait. Seek emergency care immediately.
