INTRODUCTION: Cerebral aneurysm (AC) is the abnormal dilation of an artery that irrigates the brain. About 3.2% of the world population has some CA with a potential risk of developing subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). OBJECTIVE: To describe the clinical, sociodemographic and functional profile of individuals with a clinical diagnosis of CA treated in Salvador / BA. METHODS: Observational and cross-sectional study, carried out in a reference hospital in Salvador / BA. Individuals over 18 years of age diagnosed with CA (N = 25) ruptured or not, the sociodemographic profile (age, sex, education and occupation), clinical (comorbidities, lifestyle and level of consciousness through ECG, Scale Glasgow Coma) and functional (MRC, Medical Research Council; ECT, Trunk Compromise Scale and Modified Rankin). Qualitative variables were presented by relative frequencies and quantitative variables by means of means, standard deviation or medians and minimum and maximum intervals. RESULTS: 13 individuals diagnosed with CA were included, with a median age of 51, 84.6% of whom were female, 30.8% were active in the labor market. 61.5% of the population had a diagnosis of non-ruptured AC and ECG 15. We observed SAH in 53.8% and obesity in 7.7%. About 61.5% were sedentary, 15.4% drinkers and 30.8% smokers. In the evaluation of functionality, the median MRC score was 54, Rankin the median was 4 and in ECT it was 19.5. CONCLUSION: The findings demonstrate a predominance of CA in women and functional decline of individuals during hospitalization, making interventions necessary to minimize possible functional losses in this population.Downloads
