What Is a Brain Aneurysm?

A brain aneurysm is a weakened or bulging area in a blood vessel within the brain that can enlarge over time and potentially rupture, causing life-threatening bleeding. Many aneurysms are discovered before rupture through advanced neurovascular imaging. At the Vascular and Neuroscience Institute of Southern California, our team of interventional neurologists in Southern California and Nevada specializes in early diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment to reduce rupture risk while preserving neurological function.

What Are the Signs and Symptoms of a Brain Aneurysm?

Some brain aneurysms cause no symptoms until they rupture, while others may produce warning signs as they grow or leak. Symptoms may include:

  • Sudden, severe headache, often described as “the worst headache of your life”
  • Neck pain or stiffness
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Blurred or double vision
  • Sensitivity to light
  • Drooping eyelid or facial weakness
  • Sudden loss of consciousness or confusion

A ruptured aneurysm is a medical emergency. Immediate evaluation is critical.

If you or someone near you experiences these symptoms, call 911 immediately.
