What is brain aneurysm and how does it impact one?
As per Mayo Clinic, a brain aneurysm is "a bulge or ballooning in a blood vessel in the brain." They form and grow as blood flowing through blood vessels puts pressure on a weak area. "This can increase the size of the brain aneurysm. If the brain aneurysm leaks or ruptures, it causes bleeding in the brain, known as a hemorrhagic stroke," it added.
