A peer-reviewed scientific publication called Brain Disorders & Therapy is renowned for its quick distribution of top-notch research. Authors in academia and business can publish their original research on an open access basis in this high impact factor journal for brain disorders. It provides the International Scientific Community with its typical papers on brain research.

A brain aneurysm is a blood vessel weakening that enlarges or bulges out in the brain and fills with blood. Hemorrhage is the medical term for when blood spills into the surrounding tissue after it bursts or ruptures. Serious health issues like hemorrhagic stroke, brain damage, unconsciousness, and even death can result from an aneurysm rupture. However, there are certain brain aneurysms, especially the extremely small ones that do not bleed or create other issues. Typically, these aneurysms are found during imaging studies for other illnesses. Although they can develop anywhere in the brain, brain aneurysms typically develop in the large arteries running at the base of the skull. Anyone and any age can develop a brain aneurysm. They are more prevalent in women than in men and most frequently affect persons between the ages of 30 and 60. Additionally, those who have specific genetic diseases are more vulnerable. Every cerebral aneurysm has the potential to burst, resulting in bleeding either inside the brain or around it. The majority of cerebral aneurysms do not exhibit symptoms until they rupture or get extremely large. Small, stable aneurysms typically don't cause any symptoms. While an unruptured aneurysm that is slowly growing may put pressure on tissues and nerves, resulting in pain above and behind the eye, weakness, numbness, paralysis on one side of the face, a dilated pupil in the eye, and double vision, a ruptured aneurysm always causes an instantaneous, excruciating headache.

Saccular aneurysm, Fusiform aneurysm, and Mycotic aneurysm are the three different forms of cerebral aneurysms, and they can be further divided into small, large, and giant aneurysms based on their size. Because artery walls deteriorate and become weak, brain aneurysms result. Due to the weakness of these areas, aneurysms frequently develop at artery branching locations. Rarely, brain aneurysms may be present from birth and are typically caused by an anomaly in the arterial wall. Sometimes inherited risk factors, such as genetic connective tissue disorders that weaken artery walls, polycystic kidney disease, and arteriovenous malformations, cause cerebral aneurysms. Untreated high blood pressure, smoking, and drug abuse particularly the use of cocaine or amphetamines, which can cause dangerously high blood pressure are additional risk factors that emerge over time.
