Yes, brain MRI can reveal the intracerebral aneurysm if present. Take care!

A brain MRI without contrast can reveal an aneurysm of sufficient size to potentially rupture in the future. Contrast improves resolution and can uncover small vascular malformations which might be difficult to visualize otherwise.
