Review on Brain Aneurysm Surgery

What is Brain Aneurysm Surgery? Brain Aneurysm Surgery is the procedure that is done to treat an aneurysm or a swollen blood vessel of the brain which has the risk of getting burst in the brain. That can be a life threatening condition and to prevent that from happening, it is advised to get the brain aneurysm surgery done. When a brain aneurysm bursts, it leads to blood getting filled and clotted in the area between the brain tissue and membrane protecting the brain ( sub- arachnoid membrane ). Such a complication can happen if the vessel swelling is bigger than 7mm, depending upon the location , the age and the underlying health condition of the patient, and also the patient's family history. There are many renowned hospitals and neurosurgeons in India where this surgery is done with great expertise. What are the symptoms of a Brain Aneurysm? Mostly, brain aneurysms do not burst and they show symptoms only if the aneurysm bursts. They are detected only when brain scans for any other condition is done, otherwise they remain unnoticed. The symptoms which are seen when they burst are risky and as follows- Thunderclap headache- this is a sudden and very severe type of headache. Along with this patient will have symptoms like- Vomiting, nausea Dizziness Stiff neck Numbness around the face Vision Problems like Blurry vision, double vision Pain around the eyes and behind the eyes. A ruptured brain aneurysm can cause subarachnoid haemorrhage and about 3 out of 5 of these patients die within 2 weeks. And half of those who survive suffer from severe brain damage. Thus, if someone has any of these symptoms, he or she must not wait and must get the appointment and checkup done with the neurologist/ neurosurgeons.
