Editorial Note on Brain Aneurysm

Sarilla Gowthami

A cerebral aneurysm (also known as a brain aneurysm) is a weakness in a blood vessel in the brain that balloons or bulges out and fills with blood. The bulging aneurysm can put pressure on the nerves or brain tissue. It may also burst or rupture, spilling blood into the surrounding tissue (called a hemorrhage). A ruptured aneurysm can cause serious health problems such as hemorrhagic stroke, brain damage, coma, and even death. But there are some cerebral aneurysms, particularly those that are very small that do not bleed or cause other problems. These types of aneurysms are usually detected during imaging tests for other medical conditions. Cerebral aneurysms can occur anywhere in the brain, but most form in the major arteries along the base of the skull.
