Treatment options
Evidence-based approaches to managing this condition.
First-line treatments
Drug therapy and clinical monitoring
Active treatment with regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is recommended.
Stent-assisted coil embolization
Combination approach using a stent to support coil placement in wide-neck aneurysms, providing structural support while achieving aneurysm occlusion.
Intensive neurovascular surveillance
Close clinical and radiological monitoring with frequent imaging intervals due to higher risk classification. Includes neurological checks and blood pressure monitoring.
Additional treatment options
Craniotomy with aneurysm trapping
Surgical exclusion of the aneurysm from circulation, potentially with vessel reconstruction. Considered when endovascular options are not suitable.
surgicalProphylactic anticonvulsant therapy
Seizure prophylaxis medications given perioperatively or if there is concern for cortical irritation from the aneurysm or treatment.
medicationAnti-inflammatory heart-healthy diet
Dietary modifications emphasizing omega-3 fatty acids, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while reducing processed foods and sodium to support vascular health.
dietaryWhen to seek medical help
