What are the symptoms of brain aneurysm?

An unruptured aneurysm is usually asymptomatic, but because the skull is a closed, non-expanding box, aneurysms can increase intracranial pressure, causing vision problems, sometimes movement disorders, and pain behind the eye. If an aneurysm ruptures, sudden symptoms may appear, such as severe headache, vomiting, nausea, sensitivity to light, and sometimes loss of consciousness.

What type of anesthesia is required for endovascular coiling?

What is the success rate of endovascular coiling in preventing cerebral hemorrhage?

What is the cost of endovascular coiling?

Specific costs for vascular coils are not available. Many factors determine the cost of the procedure, including whether the aneurysms have already ruptured, the patient’s age, the presence of associated diseases, whether hospitalization is needed after the procedure, and the number of aneurysms being treated.
