Print this page. A brain aneurysm is usually diagnosed using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan and angiography (MRA), or a computerised tomography (CT) scan angiography (CTA).An MRI scan is usually used to look for aneurysms in the brain that haven't ruptured.This type of scan uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of your brain. CT scan is usually preferred if it's thought the aneurysm has ruptured and there's bleeding on the brain (subarachnoid haemorrhage). This type of scan takes a series of X-rays, which are then assembled by a computer into a detailed three-dimensional image.

Symptoms depend on the size of the aneurysm, how fast it is growing and its location. 2  A large cerebral aneurysm can lead to numbness in the face or problems with the eyes. 3  Cerebral aneurysms most commonly form at the base of the brain. 4  Around 1 in 4 aortic aneurysms occur in the thoracic area of the aorta.
