What is a brain aneurysm?
A brain aneurysm occurs when there is a bulge in a weakened blood vessel
Usually, brain aneurysms only cause noticeable symptoms if they burst.
This burst leads to serious issues and is known as a subarachnoid haemorrhage (or brain haemorrhage).
If the aneurysm ruptures, bleeding can cause extensive brain damage – with three in five people dying within two weeks of suffering this.
According to the , signs of a brain haemorrhage include:
- A sudden excruciating headache (similar to a sudden “bang” on the head)
- Stiff neck
- Sickness and vomiting
- Pain when looking at light
Unruptured brain aneurysms can occasionally cause symptoms too. Signs can include:
- Loss of vision or double vision
- Pain above or around the eye
- Weakness or numbness on one side of the face
- Headaches
- Impaired balance
- Concentration issues or problems with short-term memory
