(justia.com)
- A cerebral aneurysm appears due to the vulnerability of the cerebral artery wall, altering a part of the wall to develop a lump which is fragile due to the lack of the tunica media, and it is most likely a cause of subarachnoid hemorrhage because many cases of cerebral aneurysm tend to appear in the subarachnoid space.
