A member asked:
I just wanted to know can aneurysm be connected to having stroke or vice versa?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Aneurysm can cause stroke in several ways. It can rupture and cause hemorrhagic (bleeding) stroke. It can also potentially grow in size and compress parts of brain or blood vessels and cause ischemic stroke. Rarely clots can form inside large aneurysms and then travel and cause strokes. Stroke usually doesn't lead to formation of an aneurysm.
