MRA/CTA: Mrangio circle of willis, ctangio circle of willis both with 3dreconstruction. Most give no symptoms until rupture. If concerned, like if you have polycystic kidney disease, strong family hx. Collagen disorder then have your neurologist examine and obtain both studies above. If you have one, go see neurosurgeon quick.

Neuro symptoms: Large unruptured aneurysms may present with symptoms of mass effect such as weakness or numbness or dilation of a pupil on one side. Most, however are small aneurysms and you will not know you have it without an mri/mra or a ctangiogram. These are specialized studies that have to be directed at the arteries of the brain. Family history or polycystic kidney disease increases the risk of an aneurysm.
