Failure To Diagnose Brain Aneurysm
Brain aneurysms are weak areas of arteries in the brain, where the pressure of blood flowing to the brain can create a bump that will rupture and cause complications or death to someone with a ruptured aneurysm. An aneurysm is basically an artery balloon that is not supposed to be there, and as the aneurysm gets bigger and bigger, it will rupture and cause a bleed in the person’s brain. Some brain aneurysms are small and are asymptomatic, causing no problems to the person with this condition. But when the aneurysm puts enough pressure on the nerves and brain tissue near the rupture, it can cause massive brain bleeding which will be life-threatening if not managed immediately. A ruptured brain aneurysm can cause disabilities, complications, comorbidities or death to anyone with this condition. If a person does have a brain aneurysm that is undiagnosed, it is going to be important to get the aneurysm managed and treated as soon as possible, otherwise, it can be difficult to get it under control and the person can die from the condition.
