Prognosis for Cerebral Aneurysm
Prognosis for Cerebral Aneurysm:
The
prognosis for a patient with a ruptured cerebral aneurysm depends on the
extent and location of the aneurysm, the person's age, general health, and
neurological condition. Some individuals with a ruptured cerebral aneurysm
die from the initial bleeding. Other individuals with cerebral aneurysm
recover with little or no neurological deficit. Early diagnosis and
treatment are important.

Article Excerpts about Cerebral Aneurysm
Cerebral aneurysm is a common cerebrovascular disorder
caused by a weakness in the wall of a cerebral artery or vein. The
disorder may result from congenital defects or from preexisting conditions
such as hypertensive vascular disease and atherosclerosis (build-up of
fatty deposits in the arteries), or from head trauma.
