Untreated aneurysm can produce catastrophic bleeding inside brain. Therefore, surgery is generally recommended. The type of surgery and when you need it depends on your symptoms and the size and type of aneurysm.
There are 2 forms of surgery: coiling and clipping
Endovascular coiling can be done without a major cut. Clipping is a major surgery.
