What symptoms may indicate a cerebral aneurysm?

Symptoms of a brain aneurysm may include a sudden, very severe headache (often described as the worst pain of your life), nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, feeling weak or paralyzed on one side of the body, difficulty speaking, and changes in consciousness or coordination. In cases of aneurysm rupture, there may also be symptoms of meningitis or subarachnoid hemorrhage.

What are the causes of cerebral aneurysm?

Cerebral aneurysms can occur due to weakness in the walls of blood vessels, which can be congenital or acquired. Major risk factors include genetic predisposition, high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, smoking, alcohol dependence, head injury and some infections. Aneurysms may also be associated with certain inherited diseases, such as polycystic kidney disease or inherited connective tissue disorders.

How is a cerebral aneurysm diagnosed?

The diagnosis of a cerebral aneurysm is made based on a physical examination and history. Various imaging techniques, such as computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain, are used to confirm the diagnosis. Angiography, particularly cerebral angiography, is the gold standard for detailed examination of blood vessels and aneurysms.

What are the treatments for cerebral aneurysm?

Treatment for a brain aneurysm depends on its size, location, and risk of rupture. The main treatments include surgery, such as open surgical clipping of the aneurysm or endovascular therapy (embolization) to close the aneurysm from the inside. Treatment may also include blood pressure control, lifestyle changes such as stopping smoking, and regular medical exams to monitor the condition of the aneurysm.

Brain aneurysm treatment in Israel

Aneurysm is a dangerous pathology of blood vessels, in which there is a bulging of the arterial wall in the brain. The main threat lies in the possible rupture, which can lead to serious haemorrhage. Today, a large number of people with this diagnosis choose treatment of brain aneurysms in Israel, because local clinics are known for their high level of medical services, and therapy is carried out by some of the best neurosurgeons in the world. Another important factor in favour of Israeli medicine is reasonable prices, which are much lower than in Europe or the USA.

Modern diagnostic methods and therapy

Medical care abroad begins with the analysis of existing symptoms and data provided by the patient. Most often, patients come for an initial consultation with the results of examinations carried out in their home country. After a personal examination, high-precision tests are prescribed:

CT scan;
MRI;
PET-CT.

Precise equipment allows to make an unmistakable diagnosis. After that, the medical consilium develops a personalised therapy plan. The patient immediately knows the approximate cost of all procedures, including the stay in the clinic and the recovery phase.

Not all cases require surgery. Sometimes a course of medication with painkillers and drugs that normalise blood circulation is enough.

However, in complex forms of the disease requires surgical intervention. The most commonly used methods:

Clipping – installation of a micro-clamp through a small hole in the skull to close off the area of the lesion;
Endovascular catheterisation – insertion of a catheter through the femoral artery without opening the skull;
Stenting – installation of a special frame that separates the bulge from the blood flow and strengthens the vascular wall.

Statistics speak for themselves: more than 95% of patients who underwent surgery in Israel, return to full life. And when using minimally invasive catheterisation, the efficiency reaches 98%.

How much is the cost of treatment

Cost is one of the key issues. The final amount is formed after passing all diagnostic procedures and drawing up a detailed therapy plan. On average, centres offer more affordable prices compared to clinics in Germany (cheaper by about 30%) and the USA (up to 50% savings).

In addition, many centres allow you to pay in instalments, which makes treatment more affordable for foreign patients.
