A brain aneurysm is a bulge or ballooning in a blood vessel in the brain.
An unruptured brain aneurysm may produce no symptoms, particularly if it's small. However, a large unruptured aneurysm may press on brain tissues and nerves, possibly causing pain above and behind an eye, a dilated pupil, change in vision or double vision, numbness, weakness or paralysis of one side of the face, and a drooping eyelid.
In some cases, an aneurysm may leak a slight amount of blood and this will cause a sudden and extremely severe headache.
A brain aneurysm can leak or rupture, causing bleeding into the brain. A sudden, severe headache is the key symptom of a ruptured aneurysm.
Anonymous, if a person experiences the mentioned symptoms and a sudden change in mental status or awareness, trouble walking or dizziness, sudden weakness and numbness, and sensitivity to light, he or she must seek medical attention immediately.
