Intracranial aneurysms are dilated blood vessels within the skull. Usually, the cause is unknown but people with genetic causes of weak blood vessels are more likely to develop aneurysms.
Rupture of intracranial aneurysms causes subarachnoid haemorrhage and has a poor prognosis. About 30% of people die within 24 hours and a further 25-30% die within 4 weeks.bit of a diagram nice
The traditional treatment for ruptured or unruptured aneurysms involves open surgery to clip the abnormal blood vessels inside the skull.

Good to see this post. Much relief over at Loopy Towers. Has me scurrying around discovering about the coils. You're right they do sound like a cracking bit of kit. Positive vibes, man. Thinking of you.
