YOGYAKARTA What is cerebral aneurism? This is a type of aneurism, namely the enlargement of blood vessels caused by the weakness of arterial vessel walls.

Cerebral aneurism is a common health problem. Most of the cerebral cases of aneurysm are harmless, especially if they are small.

However, broken aneurism quickly becomes life-threatening and requires immediate medical treatment.

Quoted from AI-Care, the cerebral aneurism (also known as the brain aneurism/intrachanical aneurism) is a bulge or enlargement of blood lenders in the brain. Aneurism often looks like a berries hanging from a stick.

Adapted from the Mayo Clinic page, experts suspect that brain aneurism is formed and grown because blood flowing through blood vessels puts pressure on the weak area on the walls of blood vessels. This can increase the size of the brain's aneurism. If the bulge of blood vessels in the brain leaks or is torn, it will cause bleeding in the brain, known as hemorrhagic stroke.

Most often, a broken brain aneurism occurs in the space between the brain and thin tissues that cover the brain. This type of hemoragic stroke is called subaraknoid bleeding.

Cerebral aneurismes usually do not cause symptoms or cause health problems. In many cases, a brain aneurism is found during tests for other conditions.

The above has been mentioned that aneurism occurs when the walls of blood vessels in the brain weaken or run low. The cause of the weakening of arterial walls in the brain cannot be ascertained. However, there are several factors that are suspected to increase the risk of brain aneurism, including:

Blood vessels in the brain that are still small in size and have not broken are often asymptomatic. However, if the size grows, patients with cerebral aneurism can experience various complaints, such as:

Meanwhile, if the aneurism in the brain is broken or torn, the symptoms that appear can be:

Cerebral aneurism can be prevented by controlling blood pressure. If you have a family with a history of brain aneurism, then carrying out a healthy lifestyle will greatly help reduce the risk.

Regular exercise, eating healthy and nutritious foods, quitting smoking is a healthy lifestyle that can prevent cerebral aneurism.
