As an aneurysm is considered a blood clot and a brain aneurysm is classified as a TBI, they both can affect brain activity and neuronal activity in the body; therefore, aneurysms can directly cause seizures, and possibly lead to the disease known as epilepsy. However, a person can develop epilepsy at birth without having an aneurysm. Epilepsy has many causes besides an aneurysm, and many factors and causes, unfortunately, can result in a person being diagnosed with epilepsy and/or seizures.

GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid)
Yes, Chantix may cause seizures. In March 2015, the FDA issued a warning that Chantix, a quit-smoking drug, is linked to rare risk of seizures and may lower tolerance to alcohol.
Aneurysms that occur in the part of the aorta within the abdomen are called abdominal aortic aneurysms.
Vasculitis can lead to aneurysms
Small aneurysms should be monitored for their rate of growth and large aneurysms require consideration for a surgical repair.
Aortic aneurysms are potentially life-threatening conditions.
Cerebral aneurysms are usually aneurysms we are born with. There are certain conditions, however, that can predispose one to develop aneurysms later in life. Hypertension can cause small aneurysms in the brain stem and midbrain that can bleed - these usually are not able to be seen because they are so small, however. Another possible cause is infections. These aneurysms are called mycotic aneurysms and are the result of infectious material, or emboli, being lodged in the cerebral arteries, causing a localized infection and weakening of the artery walls, leading to aneurysmal formation.
Aneurysms can occur in any artery of the body. The three most common and the main areas of concern for aneurysms to occur are the brain, abdominal aorta, and the femoral artery.
medical researchers estimate that 1-5% of the population has some type of cerebral aneurysm. Aneurysms rarely occur in the very young or the very old; about 60% of aneurysms are diagnosed in people between ages 40 and 65.
