Kim Kardashian's Brain Aneurysm Discovery: This is not the first time the beauty mogul, actress, law student and single mother has opened up about her brain aneurysm diagnosis. Kim Kardashian, 45, announced the discovery in the last month's season 7 premiere of The Kardashians.
However, in the 20th November episode, the 45-year-old mogul made a shocking revelation to her sister Kourtney Kardashian. She told her that doctors who had discovered an aneurysm in her brain are terrified that the arterial bulge in the brain could rupture. And one of the culprits of this cause is her nonstop lifestyle which might be pushing her body to the edge.
"I did a Prenuvo scan, and they called me today, and they're like, 'Everything looks great. But you have an aneurysm in your brain,'" Kim told Kourtney. "They're like, 'It's been there for like years. It was here a few years ago.'"
Kim Kardashian immediately called brain surgeon Keith Black, she said, "I sent him a picture of it, and he was like, 'I want you to come in for all this imaging.' And then I asked, I was like, 'Can I wait? 'Cause what makes it rupture?' And they're like, 'Just stress.'"
Expressing concern for her sister, Kourtney Karshaidan said in a confessional, "I'm definitely worried about Kim. She has so much going on between work and her four kids, that I don't want her to have an aneurysm, of course."
A Prenuvo scan is a neurological scan and body composition analysis that uses advanced non-radiation technology, approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, earlier this year. This proactive health screening exploded in popularity because of its full body MRI scan at a very reasonable price. Lauded by celebrities like Kim Kardashian, a Prenuvo scan is known to check hundreds of medical conditions like cancer, aneurysm, and sclerosis.
Andrew Lacy, Prenuvo CEO told a leading media outlet in an interview, "They have come to the understanding and realization that the health system is not serving their needs as it relates to keeping them healthy. Consumers are increasingly looking for alternate solutions so they can stay on top of their health."
Healthcare professionals explain that an aneurysm is a weak or expanded part of an artery similar to a balloon. This condition may occur when an area of an artery wall weakens and the force of blood pumping through can result in a bulge or an aneurysm.
According to healthcare professionals, when a brain aneurysm ruptures, the bleeding usually lasts only a few seconds. But the risk involvled here is that it can cause direct damage to surrounding cells, including brain cells. Mayo Clinic states that this occurrence can increase pressure inside your skull, which may disrupt the blood and oxygen supply to the brain, resulting in loss of consciousness or even death.
