-
Prevents life-threatening rupture and hemorrhagic stroke.Offers both traditional open surgery (clipping) and minimally invasive (endovascular) options.Utilizes advanced imaging like angiography for precise, targeted treatment.Performed by specialized neurosurgeons in high-tech medical centers.Aims to eliminate the aneurysm while preserving normal blood flow to the brain.

- Symptomatic unruptured aneurysm causing headaches, vision changes, or pain.
- History of a previous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) from a different aneurysm.
- Family history of intracranial aneurysms or certain connective tissue disorders.
- A ruptured aneurysm (emergency surgery) to prevent re-bleeding.
- Aneurysm growth observed on follow-up scans.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive neurological evaluation and imaging (CTA, MRA, or cerebral angiography).
- Pre-operative blood tests, ECG, and chest X-ray to assess fitness for surgery.
- Discussion of procedure risks, benefits, and surgical approach (clipping vs. coiling).
- Discontinuation of blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin, warfarin) as advised.
- Fasting for 8-12 hours before the procedure.

- Damage to surrounding brain tissue or cranial nerves.
- Seizures or cognitive changes post-surgery.
- Incomplete aneurysm occlusion or recurrence requiring further treatment.
- Reaction to anesthesia or contrast dye.
- Hydrocephalus (fluid buildup in the brain), sometimes requiring a shunt.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Initial monitoring in a Neuro-ICU for 1-3 days to watch for complications like vasospasm.
- Management of post-operative pain, nausea, and blood pressure.
- Gradual mobilization with assistance; physical/occupational therapy may be needed.
- Medications to prevent seizures, manage pain, and control blood pressure.
- Follow-up imaging (angiogram) to confirm successful aneurysm treatment.
- Avoidance of heavy lifting, straining, and driving for several weeks as advised.
- Regular follow-up visits with the neurosurgeon and neurologist for long-term monitoring.
