Berry aneurysm, angiogram

Berry aneurysm. Coloured angiogram of the brain of a patient with an aneurysm (lower centre right) in a cerebral artery. This type of aneurysm is known as a berry, or saccular, aneurysm. An aneurysm is a blood-filled dilation in a blood vessel wall. It is caused by a weakening of the vessel wall, which may be caused by hardening of the vessel (atherosclerosis), high blood pressure or injury. If left untreated an aneurysm can rupture, which is often fatal

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a coloured angiogram of the brain, revealing a berry aneurysm in the lower centre right region. The intricate network of blood vessels is highlighted against a striking black background, emphasizing the severity of this condition. A berry aneurysm, also known as a saccular aneurysm, occurs when there is a blood-filled dilation in the wall of a cerebral artery. The image serves as both an educational tool and a reminder of the potential dangers associated with vascular disorders. A weakened vessel wall caused by factors such as high blood pressure, injury, or hardening can lead to this abnormal swelling. If left untreated, it poses great risks as it may rupture and result in fatal consequences. Through advanced diagnostic techniques like angiography and radiography captured here, medical professionals gain valuable insights into identifying and understanding such conditions within the human body. This false-coloured representation allows for enhanced visualization and aids in accurate diagnosis. Science Photo Library's commitment to providing comprehensive visual resources shines through this powerful photograph that sheds light on cerebrovascular health issues. It reminds us all about the importance of early detection and appropriate medical intervention to prevent potentially life-threatening situations arising from conditions like berry aneurysms.
