• An aneurysm refers to a weakening of an artery wall that creates a
bulge, or distention, of the artery. Most aneurysms do not show
symptoms and are not dangerous. However, at their most severe
stage, some can rupture, leading to life-threatening internal bleeding.
Cerebral Aneurysm
• A cerebral aneurysm (also known as a brain aneurysm) is a weak or
thin spot on an artery 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).
