Is there a high risk of a cerebral aneurysm rupture?

Brain aneurysms are called "time bombs" in the human brain by many people because of the serious consequences of their rupture, which can even be life-threatening. The problem is that time bombs have set explosion times, and it is difficult to predict when a brain aneurysm will rupture, or whether it will never rupture. So, is the risk of a brain aneurysm rupture high?

A brain aneurysm is not actually a tumor. It is caused by abnormal growth and development of the arteries supplying the brain, long-term impact of blood flow, thinning of the local blood vessel walls, and gradual expansion. From the appearance, it looks like a balloon-like tumor growing on the artery, so it is called an aneurysm.

Although brain aneurysm is not a tumor, because it grows in the cerebral artery and involves connectivity between many tissues, once a brain aneurysm ruptures, it can cause subarachnoid hemorrhage, ventricular hemorrhage, cerebral hemorrhage or dural hemorrhage, leading to severe hemiplegia, coma, shock or even death.

As long as the brain aneurysm exists, there is a possibility and risk of rupture. Brain aneurysms can also rupture due to some specific triggers, including fatigue and emotional excitement before bleeding in some patients, and some patients have no obvious triggers or diseases during sleep.

When a brain aneurysm ruptures, it will seriously damage the tissues and nerves of the cerebral arteries and aggravate the condition. A ruptured brain aneurysm is very dangerous and has a high mortality rate. Even with timely rescue, there is a high risk of disability. From this perspective, the risk of a ruptured brain aneurysm is very high.

After the brain aneurysm is discovered, it should be treated in time. Brain aneurysms are treated in different ways according to different situations. They are treated in stages and are suitable for postoperative resection or recurrence with X-knife or γ-knife after radiotherapy and chemotherapy, especially for headaches, nausea and vomiting, tinnitus, limb numbness, convulsions, mental disorders, blurred vision and other symptoms caused by brain aneurysms.

As a disease with a high clinical mortality rate and high disability rate, cerebral aneurysm is still very dangerous. For many other diseases, some friends may choose to treat them calmly, but cerebral aneurysm really cannot be paralyzed carelessly, and should receive corresponding treatment according to the doctor's arrangement.
