Learning About Brain Aneurysms

This site provides both simple and complex information to help you better understand the causes and effects of brain aneurysms. It is designed to educate and keep you informed on the latest treatment techniques, prevention methods, and research support.

This site only deals with intracranial aneurysms (found in the cranium or brain). However, aneurysms can develop anywhere there are arteries in the body, which is everywhere. Another especially common location is the heart (aortic aneurysms) or the gut (abdominal aneurysms). For information on aneurysms specific to these locations, we suggest the following sources: The American Heart Association, The American Stroke Association 1-888-4-STROKE, website: www.StrokeAssociation.org.
