Dr. David Newell explains what causes cerebral aneurysm. It is a combination of a weak spot in the blood vessel and flow patterns of the blood vessel and where the blood hits the wall. Often, aneurysm formation is associated with certain things patients are exposed to later on in life like hypertension or smoking. Family history, genetics, environmental exposures are other risk factors that can lead to cerebral aneurysm.
