Can an Unruptured Aneurysm Cause Symptoms?
Yes. Although many unruptured aneurysms cause no symptoms, larger aneurysms can press on nearby nerves and brain structures.
Possible symptoms of an unruptured aneurysm include:
- Pain above or behind one eye
- Dilated pupil
- Drooping eyelid
- Vision changes
- Facial numbness
- Persistent headaches
Because these symptoms may develop gradually, people sometimes dismiss them or attribute them to fatigue, eye strain, or stress.
