    Unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) can cause significant anxiety and distress, impacting patients' quality of life even without rupture.

    Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) leads to cognitive impairments in 7% to 60% of survivors, affecting memory, executive function, and processing speed.

  • 3

    Psychological trauma from aSAH contributes to elevated anxiety and depression, which further deteriorates sleep quality and overall well-being.

    Treatment decisions for aneurysms consider individual risk factors, with a multidisciplinary team approach ensuring patient safety and informed consent.

    The study aims to compare psychological and cognitive outcomes between patients with UIAs and aSAH to enhance holistic recovery strategies.
