Event Home >

A live webinar recording from Brain Awareness Week

Brain aneurysms are a common disorder. They typically cause no symptoms, but in rare cases they can rupture, which is a medical emergency. In recent years, they are more frequently diagnosed and treated – and while this is positive, it has introduced new clinical dilemmas. In this presentation, learn about aneurysm diagnosis, treatment, and new research.
