Brain aneurysms affect a significant number of people, with approximately 1 in 50 individuals living with an unruptured aneurysm. More than 6 million people in the US have an unruptured brain aneurysm. The annual rupture rate is around 8 to 10 per 100,000 people.

A brain aneurysm ruptures every 18 minutes, often with fatal consequences. Among those who survive, about 66% suffer permanent neurological damage. The condition is most prevalent among people aged 35 to 60, with women being more likely to develop a brain aneurysm than men.
