Cerebral Aneurysm treatment in Coyoacán

A cerebral aneurysm is a weakened area of the wall of a blood vessel in the brain that dilates and forms a kind of sac. Many produce no symptoms and are discovered incidentally, but their importance lies in the risk of rupture.

Warning signs: A sudden and intense headache, double vision, neck stiffness, or loss of consciousness may indicate an emergency that requires immediate care.

Associated factors: They are related to high blood pressure, smoking, family history, and certain conditions of the blood vessels.

Which specialist treats it? The neurologist and the neurosurgeon are the ones who evaluate and follow up on this condition, with support from radiology for its imaging study. In the face of a sudden and unfamiliar headache, seeking urgent medical care is the safest course of action.
