Aneurysms in the brain are weak spots in the blood artery wall that can occasionally burst, causing Sub Arachnoid Hemorrhages (SAH). Consider the flimsy, stretched-out weak spot of a balloon. That is how a brain aneurysm develops; as a result of the continuous blood flow, that section of the blood artery wears out and expands almost like a bubble. There are numerous types: Saccular aneurysms are the most common form of brain aneurysm. They stick out in the shape of a dome [1].
They are joined to the artery by a little "neck." Saccular aneurysms are more frequent than fusiform aneurysms. They do not elongate into a dome shape. Instead, they lead to an expansion of the blood artery there. Despite their terrifying appearance, most brain aneurysms don't cause symptoms or other health problems [2]. You could live a long life and never even know it. Nonetheless, aneurysms can occasionally grow, leak, or burst. If there is a hemorrhagic stroke, which is severe brain bleeding, immediate medical intervention is necessary.

What causes brain aneurysms?
Beyond the age of 40, a brain aneurysm is more likely to occur. Another possibility is having a blood vessel abnormality from birth.
Women tend to experience aneurysms more frequently than men do. Aneurysms typically form where blood arteries branch off because some of their sections are frequently weaker. They are most typically found at the base of the brain. In the event that the brain aneurysm ruptures or leaks, resulting in a hemorrhagic stroke, immediate medical intervention is necessary [3].
Despite being rare, this might put lives at danger. Generally, the cause of the brain aneurysm rupture is unknown to the medical professional. Yet, experts are aware of a few things that could make bleeding more likely: beating heart [4]. The most frequent reason for burst brain aneurysms is this. The danger of a brain aneurysm rupturing can be increased by straining or heavy lifting. If you are very annoyed or agitated, you run the chance of having an aneurysm. An aneurysm can hemorrhage when taken with warfarin and other blood thinners, as well as with over-the-counter and prescription drugs like amphetamines and the ephedrine found in diet pills [5, 6].
Brain aneurysm danger signs
The main causes of brain aneurysms include smoking and excessive blood pressure. Yet, a number of additional elements of the medical background and manner of life also boost the odds.
The following things may have an impact on medical background:
•High blood pressure: A condition known as atherosclerosis causes fat to build up inside the walls of the arteries (blood vessels that deliver oxygen-rich blood throughout the body).
•Blood and blood vessel disorders: connective tissue disorders, such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
•Renal polycystic disease: As a result of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), a genetic condition that over time causes the kidneys to enlarge and lose some of their functionality, clusters of cysts mostly form within the kidneys.
•Any harm or injury to the brain: A serious hit or jolt to the head or body is the most frequent reason for traumatic brain injury. A gunshot or fragment of the skull that has broken through the cerebral tissue can potentially cause traumatic brain damage.
