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.

What is the purpose of a cerebral angiography?
Cerebral angiography is a diagnostic procedure that involves the visualization of blood vessels in the brain using contrast dye and X-rays. It is used to detect abnormalities in blood vessels such as aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and blockages. This procedure helps in diagnosing conditions like stroke, brain tumors, and vascular malformations.

What are anneurisms?
Aneurysms are abnormal bulges or dilations in the wall of a blood vessel, typically occurring in arteries. They can form in various parts of the body, most commonly in the brain (cerebral aneurysms) or the aorta (aortic aneurysms). If an aneurysm ruptures, it can lead to serious complications, including internal bleeding, stroke, or even death. Risk factors include high blood pressure, smoking, and genetic predispositions.
What are aneurysms found in the chest called?
Aneurysms that occur in the part of the aorta within the abdomen are called abdominal aortic aneurysms.
Does vasculitis lead to aneurysms?
