I67.1: Cerebral aneurysm, nonruptured

Cerebral aneurysm, nonruptured refers to a condition that arises due to a weakness in one of the blood vessel walls in the brain. This condition creates a bulge or ballooning effect in the affected blood vessel, almost like a small berry hanging on a stem. Nonruptured means that this bulge has not burst or leaked. These aneurysms can be small to large and may not show symptoms unless they rupture. Nonetheless, larger aneurysms may cause pressure on the brain, resulting in headaches, vision changes, or neurological problems. The presence of a nonruptured cerebral aneurysm may pose a potential risk, as a rupture can lead to severe complications such as a stroke. Factors such as high blood pressure, smoking, genetics, and age can contribute to the development of a cerebral aneurysm.
