Brain Aneurysm

Brain Aneurysm Treatment and Care Services

A brain aneurysm, or cerebral aneurysm, is a critical medical condition requiring prompt attention and expert care. Our specialized brain aneurysm treatment and care services are designed to provide comprehensive support, from diagnosis to recovery. With state-of-the-art technology and a team of experienced medical professionals, we ensure the highest quality of care tailored to each patient’s unique needs.


What is a Brain Aneurysm?

A brain aneurysm is a bulge or ballooning in a blood vessel in the brain due to weakened vessel walls. While many aneurysms remain undetected, some grow large enough to press on surrounding tissue or nerves, and others may rupture, leading to life-threatening complications like a subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding around the brain).

Symptoms of an unruptured aneurysm may include:

  • Persistent headaches
  • Vision problems
  • Facial pain or numbness
  • Weakness or numbness in the limbs

When a rupture occurs, patients experience a sudden, severe headache often described as the worst of their life, along with nausea, vomiting, confusion, or loss of consciousness.


Our Brain Aneurysm Services

We provide comprehensive care for brain aneurysms through advanced diagnostic, treatment, and rehabilitation services.

1. Diagnosis

Early and accurate detection is vital for effective treatment. Our diagnostic tools include:

  • CT and MRI Scans: High-resolution imaging to detect aneurysms and potential ruptures.
  • Cerebral Angiography: A detailed imaging technique using contrast dye to visualize blood vessels and pinpoint the aneurysm’s location and size.
  • Non-invasive Imaging: Techniques like MR angiography for a safer, patient-friendly experience.
2. Treatment Options

Our treatment approach is customized based on the aneurysm’s size, location, and risk of rupture. Options include:

  • Endovascular Coiling
    A minimally invasive procedure where small coils are placed inside the aneurysm through a catheter, preventing blood flow and reducing rupture risk. This procedure is less invasive, with shorter recovery times.
  • Surgical Clipping
    A neurosurgical procedure in which a clip is placed at the base of the aneurysm to cut off blood flow. This technique is effective for large or complex aneurysms.
  • Flow Diversion Therapy
    For certain types of aneurysms, we use advanced stent-like devices to redirect blood flow away from the aneurysm, promoting natural healing.
  • Observation and Monitoring
    For small, low-risk aneurysms, we provide ongoing monitoring and management through regular imaging and health check-ups.
3. Post-Treatment and Rehabilitation

Recovery from brain aneurysm treatment requires a multidisciplinary approach. Our services include:

  • Physical Therapy: To restore strength and mobility.
  • Speech Therapy: For patients experiencing speech or communication challenges.
  • Neurological Counseling: Support for emotional and psychological well-being.

Understanding Your Risks

Certain factors increase the likelihood of developing a brain aneurysm, including:

  • Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption
  • Trauma or injury to blood vessels

By addressing these risk factors and maintaining regular health check-ups, you can reduce the chances of developing complications.
