Cerebral aneurysm can cause from headache to paralysis

Cerebral aneurysm can cause from headache to paralysis

The sequelae of a cerebral aneurysm depend first on the size, but especially on the location of this aneurysm. It should be emphasized, however, that it is not all aneurysms that follow with sequelae, since they can be treated (surgically) in their asymptomatic phase.

Aneurysms of the anterior and / or posterior circulation can manifest with headache ) of severe intensity and sudden onset, changes in consciousness, stiff neck and changes in ocular movement. There are more severe cases in which complete paralysis of the voluntary movement of the neck down (upper and lower limbs) can occur. Paralysis of one side of the body, visual, coordination, or language disorders may also occur.

Thus, the clinical manifestation and sequelae resulting from a ruptured cerebral aneurysm may be significant. The secret in these cases is to suspect this condition before an aneurysm rupture, to treat it surgically, and, if necessary, to follow a multiprofessional rehabilitation routine.

Today we have very assertive resources for the early diagnosis of brain aneurysms, routinely screened in the context of polycystic kidney disease, relatives with at least two generations with aneurysm, sudden onset or exercise-associated headache, and other specific situations. In doubt, one should seek the doctor for clarification.
