And the challenge with rupture is that it&#8217;s unpredictable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vivien Williams<\/strong>: Dr. Bernard Bendok says a ruptured aneurysm is a medical emergency that can cause life-threatening bleeding in the brain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr. Bendok<\/strong>: The typical presentation is somebody who has the worst headache of their life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vivien Williams<\/strong>: Fast treatment is essential. It includes open surgery or less-invasive options, such as sealing the ruptured artery from within the blood vessel with metal coils and\/or stents.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Bendok says 1 to 2 percent of the population have aneurysms and only a small percentage of that group will experience a rupture. People who have a family history of aneurysms, have polycystic kidney disease, connective tissue disease, and people who smoke are at increased risk of rupture and should consider screening.
