Aneurysm
An aneurysm in the brain occurs with a weakened spot in the blood vessel wall. This may lead to an outpouching of the blood vessel, or an aneurysm. The main medical problem regarding aneurysms is the potential for rupture, causing a subarachnoid hemorrhage, which is a very serious medical condition. |
