BERRY (saccular) Aneurysm

A saccular aneurysm resembles a small sack. A berry (haha yeah thats right berry) aneurysm is usually saccular. When the blood vessel weakens it can bulge out and eventually could rupture and create internal bleeding which could lead to death if untaken care of. Some options are surgery by placing a clip or stabilize the vessel with a stent if it could help. Also they can divert the blood if it isnt a very large vessel that wouldnt put the risk to high.Some rare symptoms that have happen to two patients when they described to have an unusual cause of transient ischemic attacks due to berry aneurysms of the extracranial part of the internal carotid artery. Obviously we all know what they are and i just wanted to show some cool pictures of this and just make you all aware of such a scary problem but still happens to have a cool name. ;)
