National Brain Aneuysm Month

Brain aneurysms are health events that can potentially cause widespread damage in more extreme cases. This is a condition where the blood vessel walls begin to weaken in the brain. Over time, a bulge forms on the blood vessel, which can grow in size. If it ruptures, the leaked blood can lead to a hemorrhagic stroke.

However, brain aneurysms are more common than you might think, and most of them don’t progress to become damaging.

What makes them dangerous is that usually there are no symptoms. In many cases, people don’t learn that they have a brain aneurysm until they seek treatment for a different condition, and the bulges are detected during diagnostics like MRIs or CT scans.
