12 Signs That May Signal a Brain Aneurysm — Don’t Ignore Them

2. Vision Changes

An enlarging aneurysm may press on nerves that control vision, potentially causing:

  • Blurred vision
  • Double vision
  • A dilated pupil
  • A drooping eyelid
  • Reduced peripheral vision

3. Pain Around or Behind the Eye

A persistent ache around one eye that does not improve may occur if nearby nerves are affected.

4. Facial Numbness or Weakness

Pressure on certain nerves may lead to numbness, tingling, or weakness affecting one side of the face.

5. Difficulty Speaking

Some people may notice slurred speech or difficulty finding words, although these symptoms can have many different causes.

6. Seizures

In uncommon cases, an unruptured aneurysm may trigger seizure activity.
