Abstract

Aneurysms are outpouchings from blood vessels and can occur in any blood vessel in the body. Cerebral aneurysms are potentially lethal lesions and have the propensity to rupture, leading to subarachnoid haemorrhage, which can cause instantaneous death. They are managed either by open surgical procedures, which include surgical clipping and cerebrovascular bypass procedures or by using endovascular techniques such as coiling or flow diverter placement.
