Learn more about the health indicators and afflictions to defuse this silent, dangerous ticking time bomb. Fortunately, there are minimally invasive treatment options to manage this condition effectively.
Understanding Brain Aneurysms
Brain aneurysms, simply put, are weak spots in the walls of blood vessels in your brain. These weak areas can balloon out and potentially rupture, leading to serious complications. While the exact causes are still being studied, factors like high blood pressure, smoking, and family history can increase the risk.
Consult a Seasoned Brain Aneurysm Specialist
Finding the right doctor is key to your journey towards treatment and recovery. Dr. Manish Taneja has treated thousands of patients and treated brain aneurysms ranging from one milimeter to four centimeters. He has treated a range of ages from the young up to the average age for brain aneurysms of around 35 to 60. Unfortunately, no one can predict a brain aneurysm and also the young and fit are at risk. A brain aneurysm rupture can even cause a young to pass away in their sleep. Stay informed about treatment options and receive a recommended course of action with a seasoned brain aneurysm specialist who can give you a clearer picture of what lies ahead.
Walking Time Bombs
With limited data in Singapore, Dr. Manish Taneja estimates that one in 100 people in the general community experience the condition in their lifetime. Brain aneurysms can go unnoticed or undetected – until it is too late. It’s when the brain aneurym ruptures, the results are grim. It’s a less talked about condition and one of the reasons we don’t hear much about it is because brain aneurysm is often overlooked by heart disease, ischemic stroke, or breast cancer.
Knowing risk factors for a brain aneurysm is the first step in early detection and treatment:
- Worst headache in life
- Sudden sensitivity to light
- Sudden stiffness of neck
- Sudden sharp pain behind or above one eye
- Sudden blurred or double vision
- Sudden numbness and tingling in facial area
- Sudden loss of consciousness.
- Sudden confusion or change of mental status.
- Seizure
- Perceived “gun shot” noise or extremely loud “BOOM.”
- Drooping eyelid, nausea and vomiting
It’s important to understand the potential dangers of brain aneurysms. A ruptured aneurysm can cause severe bleeding in the brain, leading to a stroke or even death. Even untreated aneurysms can have long-term effects on your health. That’s why regular follow-up care and monitoring are crucial to managing this condition effectively.

We’ve Got You Covered for Specialized Stroke Screening, Prevention, and Management
Imagine heart attacks where the blood flow to your heart is blocked. Similarly, a stroke occurs when the blood flow to your brain is interrupted becoming a “brain attack”, affecting a blood vessel and surrounding brain function. When blood supply does not reach a certain part, brain cells begin to die. Different types of stroke include ischemic strokes or a mini stroke, a TIA (transient ischemic attack). Common risk factors include high blood pressure, which increases strain on the blood vessel and raises the likelihood of a stroke. Symptoms can vary, but may include difficulty in speaking and other changes depending on how blood flow is affected. Understanding risk factors and acting early can make a difference. It’s important to work closely with a specialist to monitor your health and reduce stroke risk.
