Brain Aneurysm Coiling in Pakistan

Safe, minimally invasive care to treat brain aneurysms — performed by Dr. Yousuf Memon.

What is a Brain Aneurysm?

A brain aneurysm is a weak, balloon-like bulge in a blood vessel of the brain. Like an overfilled balloon, it can rupture and cause life-threatening bleeding. Early detection and minimally invasive treatment such as coiling can save lives.

Causes & Warning Signs

Common Causes

  • High blood pressure damaging arteries
  • Atherosclerosis (hardening of blood vessels)
  • Genetic weakness or family history
  • Head trauma or injury
  • Rare infections

Warning Signs

  • Sudden severe headache (“worst headache of life”)
  • Nausea, vomiting, dizziness
  • Blurred or double vision
  • Weakness on one side of body
  • Loss of consciousness in severe cases

How Brain Aneurysm Coiling Works

  1. 1

    Evaluation – MRI, CT scan, or angiography locates the aneurysm.

  2. 2

    Preparation – Patient under anesthesia, incision in groin.

  3. 3

    Catheter Navigation – Thin tube guided through vessels to aneurysm.

  4. 4

    Coil Placement – Platinum coils placed inside aneurysm to seal it.

  5. 5

    Monitoring – ICU observation for 1–2 days before recovery.
