Small aneurysms (less than 7 mm) have a low risk of rupture and increase in size slowly. [44] The risk of rupture is less than one percent for aneurysms of this size. [44] The prognosis for a ruptured cerebral aneurysm depends on the extent and location of the aneurysm, the person's age, general health, and neurological condition. Some ...
