Weakness, numbness, or other loss of nerve function may indicate
that an aneurysm may be causing pressure on adjacent brain tissue.
Symptoms such as a severe headache, nausea, vomiting, vision
changes or other neurological changes can indicate the aneurysm has
ruptured and is bleeding into the brain. A ruptured intracranial
aneurysm causes intracranial bleeding and is considered very
dangerous.
