When an aneurysm occurs in the brain, it is called a cerebral aneurysm.Aneurysms in the brain occur when there is a weakened area in the wall of a blood vessel. An aneurysm may be present from birth(congenital) or it may develop later in life.

 |
A cerebral aneurysm occurs at a weak point in the wall of a blood vessel(artery) that supplies blood to the brain. Because of the flaw, the artery wall bulges outward and fills with blood.

A brain aneurysm is a balloon-like bulge in the wall of a brain artery. If this bulge tears and bleeds, nearby cells may be damaged. A brain aneurysm can occur in an artery wall that is weak or has a defect. Aneurysm is often associated with hardening of the arteries. High blood pressure, heredity, or a head injury are also risk factors.

There are four main types of brain aneurysms. Most aneurysms occur where an artery branches, often at the base of the brain. The treatment options vary, depending on the type of aneurysm, its size, and its location.

Surgery for an aneurysm is performed as soon as possible. This is often within 72 hours of the diagnosis. Either open surgery or an endovascular procedure may be best. Treatment may not reverse any damage already done. The goal is to prevent further bleeding.

You have been told that you have an arteriovenous malformation (AVM). An AVM is an abnormal tangle of blood vessels within the brain. Over time, pressure can build up and the AVM can rupture (burst). If you have an AVM, you were probably born with it. But most people don't know they have one until a problem occurs. Signs of an AVM include bad headaches, blurred or double vision, and seizures (jerking movements that are out of your control).
