Hi, I Am Wondering If You Could Help Me To
Question: Hi, I am wondering if you could help me to understand some things about my mums death, My mum showed no signs of a brain aneurysm, she was 34 and suddenly collapsed at home in January.
The causes of her deaths are as stated on death certificate:
1
(a) raised intracranial pressure
(b) spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage
(c) MCA (middle cerebral artery) aneurysms
I would like answers on how each contributed to my mums death, the exact process and order of what exactly happened from beginning to end and how there was nothing doctors could have done to save my mum.

Brief Answer:
About aneurysma;
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking!
I have gone carefully through your concern regarding to your mom's death.
Aneurysma is a born defect of a blood artery, it means that the artery in a certain segment is larger than normal and with it's walls are thinner.
In a cases of increased blood pressure the wall of the artery can not hold the increased pressure and as a result it is wrapped causing haemorrhage.
If it was diagnosed before the haemorrhage happens, it may have had a solution (putting stents in it) but at the moment that the haemorrhage has occurred, unfortunately there is nothing to do.
So it is a bad luck!
Hope the information will help.
Best wishes,
Dr.Mirjeta
