Dilation at the most fragile points of blood vessels are pathological causes and are called Aneurysm. Therefore, most of these cases are usually seen in arteries due to the great impact of the pressure to which they are subjected. this research refers to a case study carried out at the Hospital Getúlio Vargas (HGV), located in the city of Teresina, state of Piauí, Brazil. In this perspective, for three weeks, information was collected from the client, through physical examinations and his medical records. This study followed the steps of the Systematization of Nursing Care (SAE), which includes the following processes in order: Nursing history, nursing diagnosis, planning, implementation and evaluation of results. Therefore, this process was followed faithfully and its rationale was put into practice. The main objective of nursing care both in the pre and postoperative period of a patient with aneurysm is to prevent the onset of complications. Therefore, the nurse must have scientific knowledge about this pathology, know how to perform the neurological examination to identify its main complications and act appropriately.
