Possibly: Coarctation of the aorta may lead to increased hydrostatic pressure in the vessels leading to the brain and therefore may pose a risk for cerebral aneurysm formation. If you have other risk factors, i would consider screening, but please see a neurosurgeon or neurologist about this. Refer to the brain aneurysm center for women website for more information.
