Berry Aneurysm
Raju Raj Shakya
PDCH, 20th
Batch
Roll No. : 27
• Aneurysma (greek for dilation)
• An aneurysm is an outward bulging, like a bubble or an
inflated balloon, caused by a localized, abnormal, weak
spot on a blood vessel wall.
• Blood vessels dilates about one and a half times larger
than the normal diameter of the blood vessel.
• Commonly takes place in: aorta, femoral, iliac and
cerebral arteries
• Very rare in veins
Berry Aneurysm
Berry Aneurysm
• A thin walled outpouching
at arterial branch points
along the Circle of Willis.
• The Circle of Willis is
a circulatory
anastomosis that
supplies blood to
the brain and surrounding
structures.
• Most common type of intracranial aneurysm.
• Ruptured Berry aneurysm is the 4th
most common
cerebrovascular disorder.
• The annual rate of rupture is approximately 8 – 10 per
100,000 people.
• Ruptured brain aneurysms are fatal in about 40% of
cases.
• Of those who survive, about 66% suffer some permanent
neurological deficit.
Morphology of berry aneurysm
• It appears bright red, shiny
surface and a thin translucent
wall.
Sites of Berry aneurysm
Risk factors
• Smoking
• High blood pressure (hypertension)
• Strong family history of brain aneurysms (familial
aneurysms)
• Age (over 40)
Risk factors contd.
• Gender: women have an increased risk of aneurysms
• Race: people of color have an increased risk of ruptured
aneurysms
• Other disorders: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, autosomal
dominant polycystic kidney disease, Marfan syndrome,
and fibromuscular dysplasia
• Congenital abnormality in the artery
• Drug use, particularly cocaine
• Excessive alcohol use
• Infection
• Severe head trauma
Symptoms of unruptured Berry aneurysm
• blurred or double vision,
• a drooping eyelid,
• a dilated pupil,
• weakness and/or numbness, or pain above and behind
the eye.
• If you experience these symptoms seek prompt medical
attention. Unruptured aneurysms rarely cause chronic
headaches.
Rupture of Berry aneurysm
• Probability of rupture increases with the size of the
lesion; aneurysms greater than 10mm have high risk.
• Rupture can occur at any time but is often after acute
increase in intracranial pressure such as while straining
stool or sexual orgasms.
Rupture of Berry aneurysm
• Blood under arterial
pressure is forced into
subarachnoid space and
patients are stricken with
sudden and painful
headache and rapidly lose
unconsciousness.
Symptoms of ruptured Berry aneurysm
• Nausea/vomiting
• Stiff neck
• Blurred or double vision
• Sensitivity to light
• Seizure
• A drooping eyelid
• A dilated pupil
• Pain above and behind the eye
• Loss of consciousness
• Confusion
• Weakness and/or numbness
Complications of ruptured Berry aneurysm
• Subarachnoid hemorrhage
• Death
• Several neurologic deficits
• Rebleeding leading to Hydrocephalous
Diagnosis
• CT- Scan
CTscan sho wing a
ruptured Berry
aneurysm.
Diagnosis
• Angiography
Treatment
• Endovascular Coiling
Treatment
• Surgical clipping
