How do you explain a brain aneurysm to a child?
Our Youth Fact Sheet makes it easier, using simple, age-appropriate language to explain what a brain aneurysm is, what warning signs to know, and what kids need to hear most: a brain aneurysm is not their fault, and it is not contagious.

Myth or fact: brain aneurysms affect men and women equally?

Myth. Women are more likely to develop a brain aneurysm (about 3:2), and women over 55 face about 1.5 times the risk of rupture compared to men.

Every year, an estimated 500,000 people worldwide die from a brain aneurysm, and half of them are under 50. Women are at greater risk than men, and that risk rises after age 55.

Knowing the risk factors can save a life. Smoking and hypertension are two of the biggest ones you can control. Learn the signs and share these facts with the people you love.

Could you spot the warning signs of a ruptured brain aneurysm? A sudden, intense headache — often described as one of the "worst headaches of your life" — can be a sign that an aneurysm has ruptured. This requires immediate medical attention.

You may know about brain aneurysms, but have you heard of an AVM? October is AVM Awareness Month. An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a tangle of abnormal blood vessels that can occur in the brain. If an AVM ruptures, it can cause bleeding in the brain and serious complications. And 10–60% of people with an AVM also have a brain aneurysm. This October, learn the facts and help spread awareness.

As Brain Aneurysm Awareness Month comes to a close, we’re filled with gratitude for everyone who helped make this September so meaningful.

Across the country, our community came together in powerful ways. More than 1,500 people joined us at events and gatherings in support of brain aneurysm research, education, and the families affected by this disease.

This month, we also awarded a record $650,000 to 18 research projects through our Research Grant Symposium, continued educating primary care professionals about warning signs and risk factors, and advocated for increased federal funding for brain aneurysm research.

To everyone who donated, fundraised, attended an event, shared our message, or used their voice to raise awareness, thank you. You helped bring brain aneurysms into more conversations, and every conversation has the potential to save a life.

Above all, we honor the survivors in our community and remember those we have lost. Their stories remind us why this work matters and why it must continue.

September may be ending, but our work does not stop. We remain committed to advancing research, expanding education, and supporting the brain aneurysm community every day of the year.

Thank you for standing with us this September and always.
