Dr Ramakrishna Chowdhary, HOD – Neurosurgery, Arete Hospitals, Gachibowli, Hyderabad, discusses the critical aspects of aneurysm management. He explains how aneurysms can present themselves as either ruptured or unruptured and explains different treatment approaches based on the aneurysm's size and condition.

Ruptured Aneurysms -The Need for Immediate Intervention:
The doctor emphasizes that most patients come to the hospital only after an aneurysm has ruptured, that had led to a bleed and has resulted in significant symptoms. He stresses the importance of immediate intervention for ruptured aneurysms. The risk of further rupture and complications remains extremely high if the aneurysm is not separated from the normal blood vessels.

Unruptured Aneurysms - When to Consider Treatment:
All unruptured aneurysms, do not require intervention. Aneurysms smaller than 5mm generally do not need immediate treatment. According to various studies, the likelihood of these small aneurysms progressing to rupture is minimal. However, these patients should undergo follow-up scans over the years to monitor any increase in the aneurysm's size.

Borderline and Large Aneurysms - Intervention:
The doctor explains that aneurysms sized between 5 to 7mm are considered borderline and require careful evaluation. Aneurysms larger than 7mm, even if unruptured, almost always need intervention. The risk of progression to rupture is significantly higher in aneurysms exceeding 7mm, particularly in the brain's blood vessels.

The doctor concludes by advising them to seek medical attention for regular monitoring if they have been diagnosed with an aneurysm, especially if the size exceeds 5mm. Early detection and timely intervention can prevent severe complications.
