Brain aneurysm may not be as common a term as high cholesterol, diabetes, hypertension but doctors say that it's way more common in people than we are aware. Recently when Emilia Clarke opened about her brain aneurysm surgery, we took notice of the condition. But did you know stars like Sharon Stone, Bret Michaels, Quincy Jones among many survived the condition. Closer home, there are many celebrities who have suffered too.
Statistics are in fact worse in India. In a report published in Neurology India publication, titled 'Need for brain aneurysm treatment registry of India: How effectively are we treating intracranial aneurysms in India?' Sudheer Ambekar, who is also a fellow at the University of Miami, said that about 40% of aneurysms in India are fatal. He insisted on a dire need for a multilevel approach, where there is a national registry to identify and treat cerebral aneurysm cases effectively.
