Brain aneurysm diagnosis

A brain aneurysm is a bulging, weak spot in the brain artery wall. It can cause bleeding that could be life-threatening. When a brain aneurysm bursts, the death rate is 10–15% before medical care and 30–40% in the first month after the rupture. About 66% of people who survive may have long-term problems with disabilities. Brain aneurysms that haven't burst have a lower death rate. These risks can be significantly reduced with early diagnosis and proper treatment. A diagnostic process is essential for accurate diagnosis, lowering the risk of complications, guiding treatment plans, and choosing the treatment method. Patients undergo a clinical evaluation, a meeting with a neurosurgeon, and lab tests to determine their overall health and any possible risks. In addition, neurological testing and CTA angiography of the head help find the aneurysm and determine where it is and its size. These tests aim to picture any possible risks or complications accurately. As a result, it helps doctors make personalized treatment plans and reduce the risk of complications. Additionally, it improves the patient's outcome and ensures that the brain aneurysm is treated best. The costs cover essential supplies, nursing care, medical records for when the patient leaves the hospital, and suggestions for future consideration.
