Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
When a brain aneurysm ruptures, the bleeding usually lasts only a few seconds.Thanks God the bleeding has stopped. The blood can cause direct damage to surrounding cells, and the bleeding can damage or kill other cells.Only surrounding cells may be damaged and only brain functions controlled by the area in question may be altered.Other brain parts will however not be affected.Depending on the quantity of blood released, blood and oxygen supply to the brain may be disrupted to the point that loss of consciousness or even death may occur.
A good blood pressure control may help save a lot if she is hypertensive.Just trust your Doctors and she will get over it.
Hope this will help
Best regards
