What is a Brain Aneurysm?

A brain aneurysm is a tiny bubble that is filled up with blood and can potentially erupt causing serious damage to the surrounding brain cells. A brain aneurysm mainly affects core arteries in the brain, that runs unders the brain and base of the skull. Even though most people can suffer from a brain aneurysm, the risk of the aneurysm bursting increases in people over the age of 40, women are more prone to this than men.
