Summary Introduction
To review:
The formation and treatment of a brain aneurysm.
Introduction:
The brain contains blood vessels arising from the aorta, which is the great vessel that ascends towards the brain, forming an arch and branching into arteries that supply oxygenated blood to the brain and other parts of the body. A change in the thickness of the walls of the artery will affect the blood pressure, which may result in a serious or critical condition.
