Aneurysm is the term for a bulging blood vessel in the brain. If the vessel leaks or ruptures, it can cause bleeding, which is known as a hemorrhagic stroke. Brain aneurysms on their own are common, and tend to be negligible since they don’t cause symptoms or health issues, and never rupture. However, a ruptured aneurysm is a medical emergency, and knowing the signs can prevent permanent brain damage and death.
