A saccular aneurysm is a round bulge in the wall of a blood vessel, usually an artery. Saccular aneurysms are the most common form of cerebral aneurysm and are caused by a weakening of the vessel wall, which can be caused by aging, high blood pressure, cigarette smoking, and genetic factors. An aneurysm can rupture and cause internal bleeding, which is a serious and life-threatening emergency condition that needs prompt management. Treatment for a saccular aneurysm usually involves open surgery or endovascular repair.
