What Is an Aneurysm?
4. Cerebral Aneurysm
There are different types of aneurysm, and some are more dangerous than others. Cerebral aneurysms are among the most dangerous of all. In this instance, the aneurysm is located in the blood vessels within the brain. They won’t always cause symptoms, but if they burst they can be deadly.
A burst blood vessel in the brain can lead to blood leaking out into the brain tissues. As the blood accumulates, the pressure will begin to build in the brain and this can cause damage to the nearby brain cells. This will likely be fatal if left untreated and it should be considered an immediate medical emergency.
