Craniotomy for ruptured and bleeding cerebral aneurysms is a high-risk procedure.
Aneurysms are called “intracranial time bombs”, which means that they can rupture at any time, and that they can be very dangerous, even life-threatening. Craniotomy for ruptured brain aneurysm requires an experienced neurosurgeon to defuse this ticking time bomb.
Cerebral aneurysm rupture and bleeding craniotomy requires the use of vascular clips to hold the aneurysm under the direct vision of a microscope, which requires the operator to operate gently and carefully, as the aneurysm may rupture again at any time during the operation, or may accidentally injure the brain arteries or brain tissues. If the aneurysm ruptures and bleeds into a large hematoma, intracranial hematoma removal is also required.
Craniotomy for ruptured and bleeding brain aneurysms is a long and risky procedure, and it is recommended that a specialized neurosurgeon be called in to save your life.
