Cerebral Brain Anuerysm

CEREBRAL BRAIN ANEURYSMS

Brain Haemorrhage/Aneurysms/AVM's

The commonest type of brain haemorrhage requiring neurosurgical treatment is a subarachnoid haemorrhage which is due to rupture of  Brain aneurysms arising from Anterior communicating artery (Acom), middle cerebral artery (MCA), posterior communicating artery(Pcom), anterior cerebral artery(ACA), Internal Carotid artery(ICA) or AVM .

Haemorrhages (bleeding) within the brain can also be related to high blood pressure (hypertension) blood thinning (anticoagulant) medicines and some types of stroke.

Subarachnoid Haemorrhage

This type of haemorrhage usually occurs as the result of rupture of a small blister like abnormality (called an aneurysm) on one of the brain's main arteries. Haemorrhage (bleeding) from one of these aneurysms is serious and potentially life threatening. It often presents with a very sudden and severe headache, which may be followed by loss of consciousness, nausea, vomiting or epileptic fits/seizures. The diagnosis is usually made with a CT scan or MRI Scan. Once referred to a neurosurgical unit the blood vessels of the brain are imaged by Cerebral Angiography to see if there is an aneurysm or other abnormality present. If there is, this may need to be treated by a neurosurgical operation to put a Titanium metal clip across the neck of the aneurysm and thereby prevent further bleeding permanently from the ruptured aneurysm. The commonest vessels involved are Anterior communicating artery, Middle cerebral artery , Posterior communicating artery and Internal Carotid Artery. The results of aneuyrsm surgery are excellent.
