cerebral aneurysm
Arterial brain balloon
A cerebral aneurysm is a bulge or ballooning in a blood vessel in the brain, caused by weakness in the vessel wall.
Most go undetected, but if one ruptures, it causes bleeding in the brain—a life-threatening emergency requiring immediate treatment.
The scan revealed a small cerebral aneurysm that doctors decided to monitor.
