Question

In a(n) _________________________________,an artery that is near the surface of the brain or on the surface of the brain ruptures, and that rupture causes blood to flow or spill between the brain’s surface and the skull. One of the first signs of the rupture is a sudden and very painful or severe headache.

Answer 1

Answer:

Cerebral aneurysm (also known as intracranial aneurysm).

Explanation:

A cerebral aneurysm is a consequence of a dilatation of a brain artery. This dilatation can result in a rupture of such artery because its walls get weak during the inflammation and can therefore burst. When doing so, the blood scatter in the brain and can have serious consequences. One symptom of an intracranial aneurysm is the sudden appearance of a strong headache. It can also produce nausea, vision problems, and pain or weakness in an arm or leg and difficulties in understanding and speaking properly.
