The Aneurism

In essence, an aneurysm is an irregular bulge or balloon that appears on the blood vessel. They can emerge all through the body for various reasons. An intracranial aneurysm (IA) is the same condition but it appears on the blood vessels that supply the brain.

Furthermore, this condition is dangerous because it appears as a result of the weakening of the blood vessel wall. This, in turn, may lead to a rupture of the vessel and extensive bleeding in the area. If the rupture occurs in the skull it can severally damage the health of the individual or kill them.

Not every aneurysm has to rupture and many people spend their life with the condition without it escalating. However, there is an estimate that over 6,5 million people in the US have an unruptured aneurysm. Also, it is common for people to have more than just one at the same time.
