What Is an Aneurysm?
An intracranial aneurysm or brain aneurysm is when there are bursting of arterial walls that create pressure on the brain, and can lead to a fatal condition. Many people with a brain aneurysm are completely asymptomatic, which means that they have no prior symptoms before their blood vessels explode in their head. When an aneurysm ruptures, it creates a bleeding in the brain cavity, which can result in death if not treated immediately. Even with treatment, up to 25% of the people with a brain aneurysm will die from the condition, and up to 50% of the survivors will have a serious brain and neurological deficit. For these reasons, it is critical that the healthcare professionals carefully and efficiently diagnose a brain aneurysm, as soon as it is suspected for an individual going to an emergency room or urgent care facility.

How Often Is There a Failure to Diagnose Brain Aneurysm by a Primary Care Physician, Neurologist, or by a Personal Doctor?
The failure to diagnose an aneurysm can be surprisingly common. A healthcare worker needs to understand, identify, and know the signs of a brain aneurysm, to ensure that the person with the symptoms of a brain aneurysm is being cared for properly. A person can develop a subarachnoid hemorrhage, where the brain aneurysm is the cause of that condition. But the clinical workers testing a person for a brain aneurysm needs to ask the right questions, to determine if a brain aneurysm is present in the person’s emergency.
The questions that need to be asked by clinical staff, to determine and identify whether a person has a brain aneurysm, can include:
- What does the unenhanced cerebral CT show, when tested?
- Did the person get a sudden onset headache?
- Has the brain aneurysm ruptured?
- Are there signs for the reason for a brain aneurysm bleeding?
- Was an MRI used to detect a brain aneurysm?
- Was FLAIR imaging used to detect a brain aneurysm?
- Was there evidence of a subarachnoid hemorrhage?
