A cerebral aneurysm, also known as a brain aneurysm or intracranial aneurysm, is a bulge in a weak spot in the wall of a blood vessel in the brain. It often resembles a berry hanging on a stem, which is why it's also called a saccular aneurysm.
These bulges can increase in size over time due to the pressure from blood flow. If a brain aneurysm ruptures, it can lead to a hemorrhagic stroke, which is a life-threatening emergency.
Most cerebral aneurysms, however, do not rupture and may remain undetected for years, only discovered during tests for unrelated conditions.
If you or a loved one experiences a sudden, severe headache or symptoms listed above, seek emergency care immediately. Early detection and prompt treatment can save lives.
