Can an aneurysm be connected to having a stroke and vice versa?

Complex: If an aneurysm ruptures, the blood can enhance vasospasm and subsequent stroke. If one has persistent uncontrolled high blood pressure, this can create a secondary arterial aneurysm, the "charcot-bouchard" lesion, and of course hypertension may lead to a stroke. The congenital berry aneurysm though is not connected to stroke until it ruptures.

Yrs: Intracranial, berry aneurysms can leak, rupture, bleed and cause neurological injury="stroke". Peripheral arterial aneurysm may leak, bleed and cause shock and neurological secondary events. Persons with AAA also are atherosclerotic and at risk of carotid atherosclerosis or coronary disease.
