No: Prognosis is bad if untreated, undetected. 25 % will die immediatly , 25 % later in hospital stay, 25 % will have severe neurological problems. Early detection early intervention had good prognosis add to w**f I am glad you survived , early intervention is the answer good luck.

Poor if bleeding: Ruptured brain aneurysms have a 40% mortality rate befor you make it to the hospital and a 50%mortality and poor outcome rate for those that survive. If you are at high risk for having an aneurysm you may want to be screened with an mra.

Not that good: If one follows any patient with non-traumatic intracranial bleeding of any type, the death rate reaches 60 % within the first year. The immediate risk of death from aneurymal rupture is amazingly high, and death within hospital is also high. So, if runs in family, or if there is presence of polycystic kidney disease, a simple study called mra or cta could detect: if larger than 9mm should act.

Getting better: With proper screening, many aneurysms may be identified before they rupture. Recent studies support treating aneurysms at smaller sizes than were previously treated (7 mm is a common cutoff or as small as 5 mm if the aneurysm has certain features). If identifie/treated, the chances of surviving are quite good. Techniques for treating aneurysms continue to improve and are becoming safer.

ver good: Detected early. It can be treated by multiple ways, frequently by minimally invasive techniques.
