Why Awareness Matters

Aneurysms are dangerous not only because of rupture—but because they are often invisible until it’s too late.

Pain behind or above one eye
Dilated pupil
Blurred or double vision
Drooping eyelid
Numbness or weakness on one side of the face

These happen when the aneurysm presses on nearby nerves.
