What are the signs of a cerebral communicating artery aneurysm? Is it dangerous?

A cerebral communicating artery aneurysm may not cause any symptoms before it ruptures, but about half of patients have warning symptoms before aneurysm bleeding occurs. The most common symptom is a sudden severe headache caused by a small amount of bleeding from the aneurysm, as if the head was hit by a stick. Some patients may take a sudden severe headache as a symptom of the disease, so further examination is necessary to rule out ruptured cerebral aneurysm bleeding.

Before the cerebral communicating artery aneurysm ruptures and bleeds, most patients are like normal people and do not have any discomfort symptoms. When a sudden severe headache occurs, it is like an explosion or acupuncture. This kind of headache is often unforgettable for a lifetime, accompanied by nausea and vomiting, which often indicates that the aneurysm may have ruptured and bled, that is, subarachnoid hemorrhage. Subarachnoid hemorrhage is very dangerous, and some patients die before they can be treated in the hospital. The second is that the enlarged aneurysm compresses the adjacent nerve tissue, causing symptoms such as ptosis.

Is it dangerous?

1. The enlarged tumor compresses the surrounding important organs and tissues, affecting their physiological functions.

2. The blood flow forms vortices in the dilated aortic aneurysm, which can easily wash away the dirt on the dilated blood vessel wall, block the distal small blood vessels after falling off, and cause distal blood supply obstruction.

3. Under the continuous impact of blood flow, the tumor gradually grows. When it exceeds the maximum tolerance limit, the aneurysm will suddenly rupture and cause sudden death. Aneurysms are likened to a "time bomb" buried in the human body.

The treatment of aneurysms in different locations is different. The main treatments are surgical treatment, endovascular repair of aneurysms, and aneurysm embolization. The surgical principle is aneurysm resection and arterial reconstruction. Reconstruction methods include arterial rupture repair, arterial patch suppression, and end-to-end arterial anastomosis.
