This document discusses berry aneurysms, which are thin-walled bulges that can form on arteries in the brain. Specifically: - Berry aneurysms are the most common type of intracranial aneurysm, forming at arterial branch points in the circle of Willis which supplies blood to the brain. - Risk factors for berry aneurysms include smoking, high blood pressure, age over 40, and genetic factors. Ruptured aneurysms have a high risk of death or permanent neurological deficits. - Symptoms of an unruptured aneurysm include vision changes and headaches, while a ruptured aneurysm causes a sudden and painful headache along with potential nausea, stiffness, and loss of consciousness.
