A brain aneurysm is also known as a subarachnoid hemorrhage. It is a weak spot in the wall of a blood vessel in the brain.
the head of the Neurosurgery department of MLN Medical college, Dr. N.N.Gopal said: “It is for the first time that in the field of neurovascular surgery in SRN Hospital, that such a complicated operation has been successfully performed. Brain aneurysms are balloon-like out-pouching of brain arteries, which bleed easily and result in hematoma or blood collection inside the brain. This is a very dangerous situation as it can cause coma or even death.”
