Srdan, If she has had a subarachnoid hemorrhage or intracerebral
bleed and is now in coma, the prognosis is very poor. It is a complex
issue, but in general, prognosis is related strongly to the level of
consciousness of the patient. We do not do surgery on aneurysms in
comatose or near comatose patients because the results aren't
improved. Here is a useful web-site for information about aneurysms:
