Berry aneurysm. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of an axial section through the brain of a patient with an aneurysm in a cerebral artery. This type of aneurysm is known as a berry,or saccular,aneurysm. An aneurysm is a blood-filled dilation in a blood vessel wall. It is caused by a weakening of the vessel wall,which may be caused by hardening of the vessel (atherosclerosis),high blood pressure or injury. If left untreated an aneurysm can rupture,which is often fatal | |
