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.

The purpose of cerebral aneurysm surgery is to isolate weakened vessel area from the blood supply. This is mostly done by placement of small, surgical clips to the neck of the lesion.
