Actor Salman Khan recently made headlines during his appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show, not just for his transformed, fitter look, but for a surprising health revelation. The 59-year-old superstar candidly shared that he's dealing with multiple neurological disorders, including a brain aneurysm, a condition that can be both silent and serious.During the show, the actor stated, "I'm out here breaking my bones every day – ribs are fractured, I'm working despite having trigeminal neuralgia, there is an aneurysm in the brain, yet I'm still working. There’s also an AV malformation, and still, I'm carrying on."While fans were left concerned and curious, it opened up an important conversation around what a brain aneurysm actually is and why early awareness matters.What is a Brain Aneurysm?As per medical reports, a brain aneurysm, or cerebral aneurysm, is a bulge in a weak area of a blood vessel in or around the brain. Constant blood pressure causes this area to balloon out, much like a thin spot on a balloon, increasing the risk of it leaking or bursting.According to the Cleveland Clinic, most aneurysms occur in arteries at the base of the skull, and many people may have them without knowing, as small ones typically show no symptoms. In fact, 10–30% of individuals with one brain aneurysm may have more than one."Although brain aneurysms sound alarming, most don't cause symptoms or health problems. But in rare cases, aneurysms can grow big, leak, or rupture. Bleeding in the brain, called a haemorrhagic stroke, is serious and needs emergency care," WebMD noted. Types of Brain AneurysmsBelow are the types of Brain Aneurysms as per the WebMD report:Saccular (Berry) Aneurysm: Saccular aneurysms are the most common type of cerebral aneurysm. They bulge out in a dome shape and connect to the artery through a narrow "neck." They are often called "berry aneurysms" because they look like a berry hanging from a vine.Fusiform Aneurysm: Fusiform aneurysms are less common. Instead of bulging out in a dome shape, they expand the entire artery, creating a wider area.Mycotic Aneurysm: Mycotic aneurysms are caused by a bacterial, fungal, or viral infection that affects the arteries in the brain. This infection can weaken the artery wall. Mycotic aneurysms are rare.Understanding the symptoms of Brain AneurysmsUnruptured Aneurysm (if large):Pain above/behind the eyeDouble vision or visual changesDilated pupilNumbness on one side of the faceSeizuresLeaking Aneurysm:Sudden, intense headache that can last several daysOften a warning sign before full ruptureRuptured Aneurysm:Extremely severe headache ("worst of your life")Nausea, vomitingStiff neckSeizuresBlurred visionLight sensitivityLoss of consciousness or confusionDisclaimer:
