Aneurisma cerebral

Nombres alternativos:

Aneurisma en el cerebro

Prevención:

No hay forma conocida de prevenir la formación de un aneurisma cerebral. Si se descubren a tiempo, los aneurismas que no han presentado ruptura se pueden tratar antes de que causen problemas.

La decisión de reparar un aneurisma cerebral que no ha presentado ruptura se basa en el tamaño, el lugar donde se localiza, la edad del paciente y en su estado general de salud. Dicha decisión se debe considerar cuidadosamente dado los riesgos inherentes tanto de la operación como de la espera atenta.
