The underlying cause of an aneurysm is a weak spot in the artery wall. Over time, repetitive pounding by the blood as it's forced through the veins with each heartbeat causes the weak spot to bulge. The higher the person's blood pressure, the more likely an aneurysm is to form.
A brain aneurysm occurs when a weak spot in your brainâs arterial wall bulges and fills with blood. It may also be called an intracranial (skull) aneurysm or a cerebral (brain) aneurysm.
