Anon, here are some statistics from the Brain Aneurysm Foundation:
-- An estimated 6 million people in the United States have an unruptured brain aneurysm, or 1 in 50 people
-- The annual rate of rupture is approximately 8 per 100,000 people or about 25,000 people
-- About 40% of all people who have a ruptured brain aneurysm will die as a result, or about 10,000 people
-- 4 out of 7 people who recover from a ruptured brain aneurysm will have disabilities
-- Brain aneurysms are most prevalent in people ages 35 - 60, but can occur in children as well
-- Women, more than men, suffer from brain aneurysms at a ratio of 3:2
-- Ruptured brain aneurysms account for 3-5% of all new strokes.
