Brain Aneurysm
A brain aneurysm is a bulging, weakened area in the wall of an artery in the brain that is filled with blood. It is a serious medical condition because it can rupture easily and cause life-threatening bleeding in the brain. Treatment of a brain aneurysm can be very complex and medical professionals must take into consideration the size and location of the aneurysm. In some cases brain aneurysms can be repaired with surgery, or can be treated with medications, endovascular embolization, or coil embolization. Depending on the severity of the aneurysm and the risk it poses, some may not require any treatment and can be monitored regularly. It is important to seek medical help if you experience symptoms such as a sudden and severe headache, nausea, vomiting, double vision, vision loss, or numbness and weakness on one side of the body.
