BRAIN ANEURYSM - ANEURISMA CEREBRAL 2

-An aneurysm is an abnormal widening or ballooning of a portion of a blood vessel. A cerebral aneurysm refers to a blood vessel within your brain that weakens over time and undergoes such widening. This usually occurs at the junctions of the large arteries at the base of your brain, in an area called the Circle of Willis.
As the blood vessel weakens, it begins to bulge out like a balloon. Often, as an aneurysm develops, it forms a neck with an associated dome, or balloonlike structure. The larger the balloon becomes, the greater the risk it may burst. You would then bleed into your brain.
Autopsy studies have revealed that 3-6% of adults in the United States have aneurysms inside their brains. Fortunately, many of these aneurysms are small and not at risk to break. The rates of aneurysms found by accident when other studies are performed suggest that 8-10 million Americans have brain aneurysms. About 20-30% of people with an aneurysm will have more than 1. Each year, for every 100 people with an aneurysm, roughly 1 of them will suffer a rupture or break-a condition known as subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Currently no one can predict which aneurysms will rupture. Data suggest that aneurysms that rupture tend to be larger than 10 mm (0.4 in). About 25,000-30,000 cases of ruptured aneurysms occur in the US each year. About 40% of the people who suffer bleeding from an aneurysm die within the first month. Approximately another one third have residual major nervous system problems but survive.
Many are left with long-term memory problems. They may have difficulty in the following: thinking, perception, and performing simple daily activities.
People who have survived a rupture of a brain aneurysm are twice as likely as the general population to develop another aneurysm. If a second aneurysm occurs, these people are 6 times more likely to have another ruptured aneurysm and bleeding in their brain.

The people who carry out this type of surgery really are a different breed! So many people owe their LIFES to these surgeons. And as one of those people, i say THANK YOU!

Gostaria de comentar o evento catastrófico que ocorreu nessa cirurgia . Não é comum a ruptura intraoperatória de aneurismas cerebrais , ainda mais de cerebral média como o exposto aqui. Além disso para aneurismas gigantes , como exposto em sua aula, sabe-se que o uso de coil primário não deve ser realizado de rotina.

My mom had one a few months ago. Thankfully it did not do too much damage. She came home friday, October 9 2009.

Her long-term memory is fine, but her short-term is a little messed up.
