A member asked:
Can concussions cause a brain aneurysm? i have had a couple and i'm worried. if they don't, then what does cause of cerebral aneurysm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Concussions are not a common cause of brain aneurysms. These are believed to be more likely due to genetic factors and other "triggers" like high blood pressure. If there is family history of brain aneurysms you may be at higher risk. Other risk factors like smoking and excessive alcohol or drug use may put you at higher risk of aneurysms also.
