message: There looks to be some sort of error on the main picture caption. Something concerning the "Lua" or something. Under the "Specialty" header, it says: "Lua error: bad argument #1 to 'find' (string expected, got nil)." --MrMineHeads (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 00:37, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Picture caption error

message: *Added headers, restructured a little.
*Changed the rupture rate number. This is a complex issue. I think the 4% per year is more appropriate for AVM's rather than aneurysms.  The rate varies widely with aneurysm size, and I think it would be appropriate to go into that further. The bottom line is that any aneurysm, however small, can rupture, that is why at our institution we don't stratify by size, we just quote 1.3% per year.
*Vasospasm: Big topic, I only touched upon it a little. Triple-H therapy is contentious these days, though everyone agrees that hypotension is bad.
*Citations: I honestly intended to site, linking to PubMed, but for some reason the PubMed server doesn't seem to be working right now. Sorry

message: Removed 'fewer risks' for coiling of cerebral aneurysms, as this isn't entirely accurate. Coiling has a set of different risks, and perhaps fewer minor complications. The stroke rate (major complication) is similar to clipping, though with a statistically insignificant trend to fewer complications. The complication rate is also dependent on age. Further, I assume you were talking about peri-procedural complications. The data, while promising, is still not conclusive that coiling has a lower long term complication/recurrence/rebleed rate than clipping. Basically, I didn't want someone reading this and thinking it is a 'slam dunk' that coiling is better than clipping.Felgerkarb 20:28, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Treatment

message: I'd like to request public opinion on whether it is accurately to say "Generally, about two thirds of patients have a poor outcome, death or permanent disability...". Lots of people with loved ones in critical condition read this, whethere it gives or takes hope from them. We need quotation!
*Done. The most recent article notes a general decline in mortality rates, but doesn't comment on any change in the proportion of patients who survive with severe disability. Unfortunately, aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is still a very bad thing. Felgerkarb 18:55, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I added a ranking to the page. I rated it as a Start Class on the quality scale. Its a start due to it uses many large words that wouldn't be understandable to the general public. I also rated it as a Mid Importance  article on the Importance scale. Aaron5367 01:56, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Will the person who posted the photo with the aneurysm and coils ("A resected MCA aneurysm with multiple coils.") please edit the caption to explain to us lay people exactly what the heck we are seeing here? To be honest, it looks more like a fur ball on the carpet than a resected artery.

thread_title:  Detection? 

message: Cerebral aneurysm is not really accurate as the aneurysm is not of the cerebrum but of an artery. The most accurate description would be intracranial arterial aneurysm, but intracranial aneurysm is more commonly used. On google cerebral aneurysm is a little more common than intracranial aneurysm, but on pubmed intracranial aneurysm outnumbers cerebral aneurysm by a factor 10:1. Should we rename? --WS (talk) 13:11, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

message: In the article for aneurysms in general, the signs and symptoms section lists symptoms for before the intracranial aneurysm has ruptured as well as after. This article mentions only the symptoms experienced after it has ruptured. Should both be included?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 153.162.161.140 (talk) 11:19, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

message: The term 'saccular aneurysm' has been used in this article because, despite the commonly used vernacular 'berry aneurysm', 'saccular aneurysm' is more technically correct, and more consistent with the morphological description of aneurysms in other locations.

text: Don't know about that one, although they are technically intracranial aneurysm, they are very distinct in many ways and are not what is usually referred to as intracranial aneurysm. Trying to merge that could cause confusion to readers. Maybe it is better to briefly mention them and then link to the main article? --WS (talk) 14:11, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

text: The majority of intracranial hemorrhages are the two mentioned (saccular, fusiform), and you point out the synonymous use of the terminology intracranial to mean saccular. On the other hand, I feel it's a dichotomy to incorporate not incorporate C-B microaneurysms into this article which already aggregates two distinct aneurysms fusiform (HTN-related, ischaemic stroke) and saccular (congenital, CoW, hemorrhagic stroke). On balance, given that C-B can be considered a rarer pathology and the exception rather than the rule, it might be better to maintain these as separate articles for now and consider merging at a later date.
