Small aneurysms should be monitored for their rate of growth and large aneurysms require consideration for a surgical repair.

What causes cerebral aneurysms?

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.

How would they treat an aneurysm on the aorta?

An aortic aneurysm is typically treated based on its size, location, and symptoms. For small, asymptomatic aneurysms, regular monitoring may be sufficient. Larger or symptomatic aneurysms often require surgical intervention, which can involve open surgery to replace the affected section of the aorta or endovascular repair using a stent graft. The choice of treatment depends on the patient's overall health and the specific characteristics of the aneurysm.


What alternatives are there to open surgery treatment for repairing aortic aneurysms?

Endovascular graft placement is being used as a suitable option to the open surgical procedure.
