Can Intracranial Aneurysm be Cured?
Depends on size
Management depends on the size and risk of rupture; intervention may be needed in some cases
What is Intracranial Aneurysm?
An intracranial aneurysm is a bulging, weakened area in the wall of an artery within the brain. If ruptured, it can lead to a serious condition called subarachnoid hemorrhage. Treatment options include observation, medications to control risk factors, and surgical interventions to prevent rupture in certain cases. Early detection is essential for managing the risk.
