Understanding Brain Aneurysms: Warning Signs, Diagnosis & Surgical Treatment
What is a Brain Aneurysm?
A brain aneurysm is a bulge or ballooning in a blood vessel in the brain. It often looks like a berry hanging on a stem. A brain aneurysm can leak or rupture, causing bleeding into the brain (hemorrhagic stroke). Most aneurysms develop without symptoms and are discovered during tests for other conditions.
