Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) appears safe for patients with intracranial aneurysms. Careful blood pressure management during ECT is recommended for patients with brain aneurysms.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Limited data exists on the safety of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for patients with intracranial aneurysms.
  • Intracranial aneurysms pose potential risks during procedures involving hemodynamic changes.

Observation:

  • Two cases of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in patients with intracranial aneurysms were reviewed.
  • No instances of aneurysm rupture during or after ECT were identified in the literature or the reported cases.

Findings:

  • Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) can be safely and effectively administered to treat depression in patients with intracranial aneurysms.
  • The presence of an intracranial aneurysm is not an absolute contraindication for ECT.

Implications:

  • Careful monitoring and control of arterial blood pressure during ECT are crucial for patients with intracranial aneurysms.
