Intracranial Aneurysm An aneurysm is an abnormal increase in the diameter (dilation) of a blood vessel. These occur in all age groups but the incidence increases steadily for patients over 25 years old. The most devastating consequences of intracranial aneurysms, which often lead to severe disability or death, result from their rupture and bleeding into the space around the brain. A major rupture is often preceded by a "warning leak" which manifests itself as a new or uncharacteristic headache. An aneurysm may also be detected prior to rupture due to pressure on surrounding nerves. The outcome for patients treated before a catastrophic hemorrhage is much better than those treated after, so the need for adequate evaluation of patients suspected of harboring an intracranial aneurysm is of paramount importance. Unruptured intracranial aneurysms can be detected by non-invasive measures, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). Aneurysmal rupture can be detected by a computerized tomography (CT) scan or lumbar puncture. In these tests suggest the presence of an aneurysm, formal cerebral

Further Reading What is a cerebral aneurysm? n intracranial aneurysm ("cerebral aneurysm," "brain aneurysm") is a protruding bubble or sac on a brain artery that balloons out over time. Aneurysms have thin, weak walls and have a tendency to rupture causing hemorrhage into and around vital brain structures. How common are aneurysms? The actual incidence is difficult to estimate since not all aneurysms present to medical attention. Autopsy studies indicate a prevalence in the general population of approximately 5%. Only a fraction those aneurysms rupture. What causes aneurysms to form? The etiology of aneurysm formation is debated but is thought to be due to a small area of weakness in the blood vessel wall near a branch point of the blood vessel. A number of factors may contribute to aneurysm formation. These include: congenital predisposition arterial hypertensive disease cigarette smoking complications of blood infections traumatic injury How do patients with aneurysms present to the doctor?

An aneurysm is a dilation, or swelling, of a blood vessel (where part of the vein or artery bulges like a balloon). The wall of the aneurysm stretches and is thinner and weaker than the rest of the artery wall. Because of its likelihood to burst, it poses a serious risk to health Rupture of an aneurysm in the brain can cause stroke. What happens when an aneurysm ruptures? When a cerebral aneurysm ruptures, it usually bleeds into the area surrounding the brain (sub-arachnoid space) to cause a sub-arachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). Less commonly, an aneurysm can rupture and bleed into the brain itself (intracerebral haemorrhage) which can produce a variety of symptoms depending on the size and location of the haemorrhage. How are they discovered?

MAIN SEARCH INDEX Aortic aneurysm Definition Description Causes and symptoms Diagnosis ... Resources Aortic aneurysms occur when a weakness develops in a part of the wall of the aorta. The aorta is the large blood vessel that carries oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to the rest of the body. (Illustration by Electronic Illustrators Group.) Definition An aneurysm is an abnormal bulging or swelling of a portion of a blood vessel. The aorta, which can develop these abnormal bulges, is the large blood vessel that carries oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to the rest of the body. Description The aorta carries oxygen-rich blood to the body, and is therefore called an artery. Because the aorta is an artery, its walls are made of up three layers; a thin inner layer, a muscular middle layer (that gives the vessel its flexibility under pressure from the filling blood), and a fiber-like outer layer that gives the vessel strength to not burst when the heart pumps blood to the body. Aortic aneurysms occur when a weakness develops in part of the wall of the aorta; three basic types are usually found. If all three layers of the vessel are affected and weakness develops along an extended area of the vessel, the weakened area will appear as a large, bulging region of blood vessel; this is called a fusiform aneurysm. If weakness develops between the inner and outer layers of the aortic wall, a bulge results as blood from the interior of the vessel is pushed around the damaged region in the wall and collects between these layers. This is called a dissecting aneurysm because one layer is "dissected" or separated from another. If damage occurs to only the middle (muscular) layer of the vessel, a sack-like bulge can form; therefore, this is a saccular aneurysm.

Medical Services Treatment of Aortic Aneurysm at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville (Synonyms: abdominal aortic aneurysm) An aneurysm is a bulge in the wall of an artery. It usually occurs when the wall becomes weak or damaged by the accumulation of fatty deposits (atherosclerosis). Atherosclerosis is sometimes referred to as hardening of the arteries. Aneurysms can form in any artery, anywhere in the body, including an artery in the brain (brain aneurysm). However, most aneurysms occur in the aorta the body's largest artery. The aorta, which resembles a garden hose in thickness, runs from the heart down the center of the chest and abdomen, eventually splitting off into two arteries, one serving each leg. Although an aneurysm can develop anywhere along the aorta, most occur in the section running through the abdomen (abdominal aneurysms). The rest occur in the section that runs through the upper chest (thoracic aneurysms). The aneurysm often causes no symptoms, but there may be pain in the abdomen and lower back in advanced cases. Sometimes, a doctor will discover the pulsating vessel during a routine examination. The risk of an aneurysm rupturing, a life-threatening event, increases as the aneurysm grows. An aneurysm more than 5 centimeters in diameter is usually considered for surgical repair. Smaller aneurysms may just be monitored closely.

97. USC Center For Vascular Care Abdominal Aortic aneurysm. An aneurysm is another type of disease that affects the arteries. The rate of aneurysm rupture is related to its size. http://www.surgery.usc.edu/divisions/vas/abdominalaorticaneurysm.html

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm An aneurysm is another type of disease that affects the arteries. It is a localized widening or enlargement of an artery compared to its normal size. An aneurysm is a serious health problem because it may rupture, similar to the bursting of a balloon that has been over inflated. When a blood vessel with an aneurysm ruptures, life-threatening bleeding occurs. Aneurysms can also cause pain from pressure on nearby organs or nerves. Occasionally, debris ( emboli ) contained within the aneurysm can break off and travel to the legs or vital organs, blocking the blood flow to these tissues. Aneurysms occur most commonly in the abdominal aorta, a large blood vessel in the abdomen. Abdominal aortic aneurysms ( AAA's ) most often involve the infrarenal aorta , or that portion of the blood vessel that lies below the takeoff of the arteries to the kidneys ( renal arteries ). About half of AAA's also involve the iliac arteries in the pelvis. Uncommonly, AAA's extend above the renal arteries (suprarenal) and possibly into the chest cavity ( thoraco-abdominal AAA's affect 6-9% of men over 65 years of age. They are twice as common in men than in women. The major risk associated with AAA's is that they have a high propensity to rupture. Ruptured AAA's are the 13th leading cause of death in the United States. They are also the 10th leading cause of death for men over the age of 55. Approximately 30% to 50% of patients with a ruptured AAA die before they ever reach a hospital. Even with surgery, there is 50-70% mortality rate associated with a ruptured AAA. Therefore, early detection and timely repair are paramount to AAA management.

An aneurysm may be caused or aggravated by disease (such as atherosclerosis or hypertension), injury, or an abnormality present at birth. How are aneurysms diagnosed? In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for an aneurysm may include any, or a combination of, the following: computed tomography scan (Also called a CT or CAT scan.) - a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of x-rays and computer technology to produce cross-sectional images (often called slices), both horizontally and vertically, of the body. A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat, and organs. CT scans are more detailed than general x-rays. magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) - a diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of large magnets, radiofrequencies, and a computer to produce detailed images of organs and structures within the body. echocardiogram (also known as echo) - a procedure that evaluates the structure and function of the heart by using sound waves recorded on an electronic sensor that produce a moving picture of the heart and heart valves.

F amilial I ntracranial A neurysm (FIA) Study WHAT IS THE FIA STUDY? The Familial Intracranial Aneurysm Study, also known as the FIA study, is a collaborative research effort of neurologists and neurosurgeons throughout the United States Canada Australia and New Zealand . The goal of this study is to identify genes that may be important in the development of intracranial aneurysms. This study is sponsored by the National Institutes of Neurologic Diseases and Stroke and will involve 400 families with multiple affected family members throughout North America Australia and New Zealand WHAT ARE INTRACRANIAL ANEURYSMS: Intracranial aneurysms are “blisters” which form within the arteries at the base of the brain. A rupture of an aneurysm may lead to subarachnoid hemorrhage. (SAH) Symptoms of SAH include sudden: Severe headache Loss of consciousness Pain in neck, back, eye or face Nausea and vomiting Photophobia (Sensitivity to light) Phonophobia (Sensitivity to sound) The mortality rates of patients suffering from a SAH is 40 – 44%, with many survivors suffering major disability. Most of the deaths from SAH are due to rapid and massive brain injury from the initial bleeding, which is not correctable by medical and surgical intervention. Thus prevention of aneurysm formation is of paramount importance.

Find a physician Find a clinic E-mail patients Request appointments ... Find a job NEUROMEDICINE Family guide topics Neurological Surgery Cerebral aneurysms A cerebral aneurysm is an area of the blood vessel in the brain which becomes weakened over time. As the area becomes weaker, it begins to bulge out like a tiny balloon. The more pressure on the balloon, the higher the risk of a leak or break in the area. When the balloon leaks or ruptures, blood escapes into the surrounding tissue, causing a hemorrhage. Sometimes the aneurysm does not rupture but causes pressure on one of the small nerves leaving the brain. Aneurysms occur in about 2 percent of the general U.S. population and can be caused by one or more of the following: High blood pressure or hardening of the arteries in the brain. A blood clot that goes to the brain. Some types of infection (called Mycotic aneurysm). Injury or trauma to the head. Genetics or a condition you were born with. Possible habitual use of cocaine. Signs and symptoms The most common presenting problem from an aneurysm is rupture with bleeding into the subarchnoid spaces, which is called a subarchnoid hemorrhage. With a subarachnoid hemorrhage the person:
