Symptoms of cerebral aneurysm

Symptoms of a cerebral aneurysm may include sudden severe headache, blurred vision, double vision, eye pain, stiff neck, nausea and vomiting, confusion or coma. Prompt detection and medical treatment are key.

1. Sudden severe headache is a typical manifestation of cerebral vascular aneurysm rupture, often described as a "thunderbolt" headache. This pain often occurs suddenly and is much more intense than an ordinary headache. If you have similar symptoms, you should seek medical attention in time for imaging examinations such as CT or MRI.

2Vision problems, including blurred vision, visual field loss, and double vision, may be related to compression of the optic nerve by the aneurysm. For patients with abnormal vision, an eye examination combined with brain imaging should be performed to determine the cause.

3. Eye pain and ptosis are often related to aneurysm compression of the oculomotor nerve. This pain often manifests as persistent dull pain and may be accompanied by eye movement disorders. If these symptoms occur, a neuro-ophthalmological examination should be performed as soon as possible.

4 Neck stiffness may indicate subarachnoid hemorrhage, a common complication of aneurysm rupture. If accompanied by headache, nausea, etc., a lumbar puncture and CT scan should be performed immediately.

5 Nausea and vomiting may be related to increased intracranial pressure, which is common in cases of aneurysm enlargement or rupture. In this case, timely cranial imaging examinations and monitoring of vital signs are required.

6. Consciousness disturbances can range from mild confusion to deep coma, indicating a serious condition. Emergency treatment should be performed immediately, including endotracheal intubation, life support and other measures.

Early identification of cerebrovascular aneurysm symptoms and timely treatment are crucial to effectively prevent serious complications. For high-risk groups, regular cerebrovascular screening should be performed, a healthy lifestyle should be maintained, and risk factors such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia should be controlled. If the above symptoms occur, medical attention should be sought immediately, a comprehensive neurological examination and evaluation should be conducted, and appropriate treatment measures such as interventional surgery or craniotomy should be taken in a timely manner. At the same time, medication such as antihypertensive drugs and painkillers should be used to provide postoperative rehabilitation and long-term follow-up.
