Brain Aneurysms Surgery

A brain aneurysm is a bulge or balloon in a brain artery, typically forming where arteries branch due to weakened vessel walls. These aneurysms are most common at the base of the brain. Dr. Sina Rajamand offers expert treatment for brain aneurysms at Saint Mary’s Brain and Spine Surgery in Reno.

While some aneurysms are asymptomatic, they pose risks of growth or rupture, leading to serious complications. A ruptured aneurysm can cause life-threatening issues and requires immediate medical attention. Even unruptured aneurysms can cause severe headaches and may eventually burst.

Aneurysms often get detected incidentally during imaging for other conditions. Initial treatment may include conservative approaches, such as medications, to manage unruptured aneurysms. For more information or to schedule a consultation, contact Dr. Rajamand in Reno.

Ruptured Aneurysm Repair Surgery

When a brain aneurysm ruptures, the primary symptom is an excruciating headache, often described as the worst headache ever experienced. Other symptoms can include:

Nausea and vomiting
Blurred or double vision
Sensitivity to light
Seizures
Drooping eyelid
Loss of consciousness
Confusion

Dr. Sina Rajamand, a skilled neurosurgeon in Reno, can perform surgery to address both ruptured and unruptured aneurysms exerting pressure on the brain. Treatment options include less invasive methods such as using a catheter to insert a coil into the aneurysm to seal it off.

Dr. Rajamand will determine the most appropriate approach for your aneurysm and manage any associated damage. For a diagnostic evaluation and consultation, contact Saint Mary’s Brain and Spine Surgery.
