A member asked:

Do brain aneurysms cause scalp tingling and numbess? do they cause scalp soreness

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Aneurysm: It would be highly unlikely for a cerebral aneurysm to cause local scalp symptoms. Those symptoms are more likely peripheral nerve symptoms.

Neck cracks/pops, forehead/scalp tingling, is the result of pinched nerves in neck from bulges at C5-C6 and C6-C7 via neck MRI? Brain CTs/MRI's were all normal. Help!
