What is a Brain Aneurysm?
A brain aneurysm is a weakened, bulging area in the wall of an artery that supplies blood to the brain. Over time, the aneurysm can expand, increasing the risk of rupture, which may lead to a life-threatening hemorrhagic stroke. While some aneurysms remain stable and cause no symptoms, others require urgent medical intervention to prevent catastrophic bleeding.
At California Neurosurgical Specialists, we treat brain aneurysms with a custom-tailored and compassionate approach to meet your unique concerns. The esteemed Dr. Benet is the leading expert in the field of neurosurgery and is widely regarded as the best aneurysm surgeon in Los Angeles and beyond.

What are the Signs and Symptoms of a Brain Aneurysm?
Many aneurysms go undetected until they rupture. However, unruptured aneurysms can sometimes cause:
Severe headaches
Blurred or double vision
Pain above or behind the eye
Difficulty speaking or swallowing
Weakness or numbness in the face
A ruptured aneurysm presents as a sudden, severe headache (often described as the worst headache of one’s life), nausea, vomiting, loss of consciousness, and neurological impairment. If you experience these symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.
At our Los Angeles neurosurgical center, Dr. Arnau Benet, the best aneurysm surgeon in Los Angeles, offers precise and effective treatment options to secure the aneurysm and prevent rupture.

Am I a Good Candidate for Aneurysm Surgery?
Aneurysm treatment is determined by factors such as size, location, and rupture risk. You may be a candidate if you:
Have an aneurysm at risk of rupture based on its size and shape
Have experienced symptoms linked to an unruptured aneurysm
Have a family history of aneurysms and want to proactively reduce your risk
Have had a ruptured aneurysm and require emergency intervention
Dr. Benet, a leading Los Angeles aneurysm specialist, will perform a comprehensive evaluation and recommend the most effective treatment approach.

What to Expect During Aneurysm Treatment
Our elite team provides the most advanced, state-of-the-art aneurysm treatment options, including:
1.
Microsurgical Clipping
A neurovascular repair procedure where a small titanium clip is placed around the aneurysm’s base, cutting off blood flow to prevent rupture while preserving normal circulation.
2.
Endovascular Coiling
A minimally invasive approach involves inserting soft platinum coils through a catheter into the aneurysm. This promotes clot formation, seals the aneurysm, and prevents bleeding.
3.
Flow Diversion
For large or complex aneurysms, a flow-diverting stent may be placed inside the artery to redirect blood flow away from the aneurysm, allowing it to heal naturally over time.
Frequently asked Questions
FAQs About Aneurysm Treatment
How is a brain aneurysm diagnosed?
a.
Aneurysms are detected using endovascular imaging techniques that provide detailed views of the brain's blood vessels, such as MRI, CT angiography, or cerebral angiography.
Can a brain aneurysm heal on its own?
a.
Small, stable aneurysms may remain unchanged for years. However, larger or irregularly shaped aneurysms are at a higher risk of rupture and often require treatment.
What are the risks of untreated aneurysms?
a.
An untreated aneurysm can rupture at any time, leading to a hemorrhagic stroke, brain damage, or death. Early intervention can significantly improve outcomes.
