BRAIN ANEURYSM
An aneurysm is basically a bulge in the walls of the blood vessels as it becomes thin. It is an unusual disease which goes undetected and can rupture anytime. A brain aneurysm is the bulging of the blood vessel in the brain which is at risk of getting a tear.
CAUSES
The main causes of a brain aneurysm are:
- High blood pressure.
- Atherosclerosis.
- Trauma.
- Heredity.
- Tumors.
- Drug abuse such as Cocaine can also cause an aneurysm.
The symptoms include a severe headache, numbness or weakness on one of the face, a change in vision as well as dilatation of the pupil in some cases. Nausea and vomiting are also associated with an aneurysm headache.
It can lead potentially to death or stroke by leaking of the vessels into the membranes which cover the brain and the spinal cord known as the subarachnoid hemorrhage. It can be diagnosed by a skilled healthcare professional by seeing the appearance as the health deteriorates and patient experiences a headache followed by a stiff neck.
A proper CT scan is performed to confirm the location of an aneurysm which can be followed by a lumbar or spinal puncture if the scan is inappropriate.
TREATMENT PROCEDURE
The brain aneurysm repair procedure can be done in a number of ways depending upon the size, shape and location of an aneurysm. It is broadly done in two ways:
#1. CLIPPING
In this procedure, the surgeon makes an incision into the scalp and keeps a metal clip at the base of an aneurysm so that it doesn’t rupture.
#2. ENDOVASCULAR RUPTURE
It is a procedure in which a wire is inserted along with a catheter tube in the artery which leads to an aneurysm in the brain. The wires coil into a ball and protect an aneurysm to burst.
RECOVERY
Brain aneurysm repair doesn’t need many days of hospitalization unless complications persist or any underlying cause like high blood pressure or hardening of the arteries is there, it is the surgeon who observes the patient with all the tests and scans.
Generally, the brain aneurysms are deadly and most of the people die due to second internal bleeding if they resist the first one.
Some of them do not receive proper medical care while others have underlying causes which can lead to death.
If the patient is brought early, care can be taken to prevent the bursting by the repair procedure along with the medications.
