ICD-Code I67.10: Cerebral aneurysm, acquired
One of the blood vessels in your brain has become enlarged.
There are various reasons for enlarged blood vessels in the brain. For example, blood vessels can become enlarged if someone has persistent high blood pressure, or if the vascular wall weakens.
This widening of a blood vessel usually goes unnoticed. However, there is a risk that the blood vessel wall could rupture. This can cause bleeding in the brain.
