A brain aneurysm is a bulge in a blood vessel in the brain which leads to weakness in the veins wall. It may leak or rupture, causing bleeding into the brain (hemorrhagic stroke). Most often a ruptured brain aneurysm occurs in the space between the brain and the thin tissues covering the brain. Common signs of a ruptured aneurysm include: Sudden and extremely severe headache Nausea and vomiting Blurred or double vision Sensitivity to light Seizure Loss of consciousness Confus

First we have to know that an aneurysm is a bulge in a blood vessel caused by a weakness in the blood vessel wall, usually where it branches. As blood passes through the weakened blood vessel, the blood pressure causes a small area to bulge outwards like a balloon. It may develop in any blood vessel in the body, but the two most common places are: the abdominal aorta – the artery that transports blood away from the heart to the rest of the body the brain Most brain aneurysms

The medical term for an aneurysm that develops inside the brain is an intracranial or cerebral aneurysm or commonly called brain aneurysm. It is a weak bulging spot on the wall of a brain artery very much like a thin balloon or weak spot on an inner tube. Over time, the blood flow within the artery pounds against the thinned portion of the wall and aneurysms form silently from wear and tear on the arteries. As the artery wall becomes gradually thinner from the dilation, the b

Brain aneurysm bulges out of a weakened spot in an artery wall. The weakening results from an abnormal loss of the tissue making up the muscular layer of the artery. If that weak area ruptures, blood flows into the brain cutting off oxygen to brain cells, a situation that can cause permanent disability or even be fatal. it can be similar to heart attacks. Just like a person may have no warning of an impending heart attack, there almost is never a warning that a brain aneurysm

Statistics about brain aneurysm: About 90% of all brain aneurysms produce no symptoms Brain aneurysms are most prevalent in people ages 35 – 60, but can occur in children as well. The median age when aneurysmal hemorrhagic strokeoccurs is 50 years old and there are typically no warning signs. ​4 out of 7 people who recover from a ruptured brain aneurysm will have disabilities. Most aneurysms are small, about 1/8 inch to nearly one inch, and an estimated 50 to 80 percent of al

An aneurysm is a weak area in a blood vessel that usually enlarges. It’s often described as a “ballooning” of the blood vessel. Aneurysms usually develop at branching points of arteries and are caused by constant pressure from blood flow. They often enlarge slowly and become weaker as they grow, just as a balloon becomes weaker as it stretches. Aneurysms may be associated with other types of blood vessel disorders, such as fibromuscular dysplasia, cerebral arteritis or arteri

Remember that knowledge is power. Let us first learn what brain aneurysm really is. A brain aneurysm is actually a bulge or ballooning in a blood vessel in the brain. It often looks like a berry hanging on a stem. It may leak or rupture, causing bleeding into the brain (hemorrhagic stroke). Most often a ruptured brain aneurysm occurs in the space between the brain and the thin tissues covering the brain. A ruptured aneurysm quickly becomes life-threatening and requires prom

Aneurysm is a ballooning at a weak spot in an artery wall. It may leak or rupture, causing bleeding into the brain (hemorrhagic stroke). Most often a ruptured brain aneurysm occurs in the space between the brain and the thin tissues covering the brain. Neurologist use multiple tests to confirm a brain aneurysm diagnosis: MRA: A magnetic resonance angiogram (MRA) scan is a type of MRI scan that’s specifically for blood vessels. CTA: This is a special type of CT scan that focus
