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 are aneurysms treated?
There are two ways, you can either get it treated to prevent rupturing, or have an emergency treatment where an aneurysm is repaired after it is ruptured. Preventative treatment is more preferred.
