Descriptor Spanish: Aneurisma Intracraneal
Descriptor aneurisma intracraneal
Entry term(s) aneurisma cerebral
aneurisma de la artéria basilar
aneurisma del cerebro
aneurisma intracraneal gigante
aneurisma intracraneal micótico
aneurisma sacciforme
Scope note: Bolsa externo anormal en la pared de los vasos sanguíneos intracraneales. Los aneurismas saculares son la variante más común y tienden a formarse en los puntos de ramificación arterial en el POLÍGONO DE WILLIS en la base del encéfalo. La rotura vascular da lugar a HEMORRAGIA SUBARACNOIDEA o HEMORRAGIA INTRACRANEAL. Los aneurismas gigantes (mayores que 2,5 cm de diámetro) pueden comprimir las estructuras adyacentes, como el NERVIO OCULOMOTOR. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p841).

Scope note: Abnormal outpouching in the wall of intracranial blood vessels. Most common are the saccular (berry) aneurysms located at branch points in CIRCLE OF WILLIS at the base of the brain. Vessel rupture results in SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE or INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES. Giant aneurysms (>2.5 cm in diameter) may compress adjacent structures, including the OCULOMOTOR NERVE.
