What are the symptoms and treatments for intracranial aneurysms?

Aneurysm is a very scary tumor disease, but many people know very little about it. So, what are the symptoms of intracranial aneurysm? What are the treatments?

The following are the symptoms of intracranial aneurysm.

Symptoms of aneurysm rupture and bleeding

Once an aneurysm ruptures and bleeds, the clinical manifestation is severe subarachnoid hemorrhage, which occurs rapidly and the patient has a severe headache, which is described as "the head is about to explode". Frequent vomiting, sweating, and elevated body temperature; stiff neck and positive Kerner sign. Impairment of consciousness or even coma may also occur. Some patients have predisposing factors such as fatigue and emotional excitement before bleeding, while others have no obvious predisposing factors or develop the disease during sleep.

Focal symptoms

Oculomotor nerve palsy is common in internal carotid artery-posterior communicating artery aneurysms and posterior cerebral artery aneurysms, and is manifested by unilateral ptosis, pupil dilation, inability to adduct, look up or down, and loss of direct and indirect light reactions.

The above is an introduction to the symptoms of intracranial aneurysm. The following is an introduction to the treatment methods.

1 Multiple aneurysms are more likely to bleed than single ones, so some people advocate that it is better to treat one aneurysm than not to treat it, and it is better to treat all of them than to treat only one. It is most beneficial for patients to treat all aneurysms in one operation using one incision. If the aneurysms are far apart, staged surgery is required. Staged surgery should first treat aneurysms that bleed or have a tendency to bleed. Based on a comprehensive analysis of imaging and clinical symptoms, about 96% of bleeding aneurysms can be distinguished. The treatment of multiple aneurysms is the same as that of a single aneurysm, and the surgical mortality rate is also similar.

2 About 1/5 of patients with giant aneurysms can only receive conservative treatment due to various reasons, while 4/5 can undergo surgical treatment.

The above is an introduction to the symptoms and treatments of intracranial aneurysm. I wish the patient a speedy recovery.
