A cerebral aneurysm (intracranial aneurysm) is an abnormal dilation (ballooning) of an artery supplying the brain with blood. There are many causes of cerebral aneurysms and some may require treatment to avoid rupture. If an aneurysm ruptures within the brain, it can cause a stroke (hemorrhagic stroke). This can leave you with permanent neurological impairment and in some cases death.
If you have been diagnosed with an aneurysm, our surgeons at SCL Health Medical Group - Lutheran Neurosurgery are able to advise you on the best management for treatment using a multidisciplinary approach with our endovascular neuro-radiology colleagues.
