Body
was changed:
A ruptureRupture of a berry aneurysm(also known as a saccular aneurysm) can can cause either a subarachnoid haemorrhage, cerebral hematoma and / or/or an intraventricular haemorrhage.
Epidemiology
Berry aneurysms form 97% of aneurysms of the central nervous system. Up to 80% of patients with a spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage have ruptured an aneurysm. 90% of these aneurysms are located in in the anterior circulation (carotid) and 10% are found in the posterior circulation (vertebrobasilar).
Determining the site of rupture
After rupture, the location of the blood or haematoma can help determine the site of the ruptured aneurysm in the majority of cases.
