50% of people whose brain aneurysm ruptures do not survive. When a rupture strikes, every moment counts. Know the warning signs — a sudden, severe headache, blurred vision, nausea, or loss of consciousness — and don't wait to act. Early awareness saves lives.

In August 2022, Aretha Watson's brain aneurysm ruptured. She couldn't have imagined what came next. Today she volunteers at the facility where she recovered — offering the simplest, most powerful message to other patients: "I'm walking. You can walk. I'm driving. You can drive."

BAF is partnering with comprehensive stroke centers nationwide on a trial to improve outcomes for aSAH patients. We want input from patients and caregivers on which outcomes matter most after rupture. Join the conversation with the physician trial team, https://t.co/0NwOhTF5no

This Saturday, Aug. 1, Barrow President and CEO @mtlawton, MD, has plans to elevate #aneurysm awareness—to 14,505 feet above sea level.

Dr. Lawton and his hiking team, which also includes #BarrowNeurologicalInstitute alumni, will take on the highest peak in the contiguous United States: #MountWhitney in California's Sierra Nevada range.

Their goal is to raise $1 for every foot of the mountain's elevation in support of the Brain Aneurysm Foundation (@bafound).

When a ruptured brain aneurysm caused Chip to lose consciousness during a swim workout, quick action from teammates saved his life. Nearly 20 years, 5 treated aneurysms later, he’s still swimming & sharing his story of survival, perseverance, & gratitude. https://t.co/94aBwQPQgA

Did you know 1 in 50 Americans has a brain aneurysm? Most never know until it's too late — half of ruptures are fatal. This new ad from @americanedge and @BAFOUND shows how AI helps doctors turn a silent risk into something predictable, catching it before it's too late.

Congratulations to Dr. Hiroki Kobayashi of @BarrowNeuro, recipient of a $50,000 research grant to study a potential new non-surgical target for preventing aneurysm rupture. His work is funded by the NYC Marathon Chair of Research. Read more: https://t.co/piFSV8HW5Z

Today is World Brain Day — a reminder of how vital brain health is, and why greater awareness of conditions like brain aneurysms matters. They often go unnoticed until rupture, which can be fatal. Awareness, early detection, and research can help prevent tragedy.

[PIE Org @PIEOrg2018]

One in 50 Americans is living with a brain aneurysm, and half of those who suffer a rupture die. @AmericanEdge’s new ad with the Brain Aneurysm Foundation @BAFOUND shows how AI now helps doctors catch aneurysms before they rupture. AI in healthcare is a game changer. https://t.co/wWdTBY4TjD

Marianna Farina's story highlights the power of early detection. After losing her mother to a brain rupture, she told her doctor about mild headaches. An MRI and MRA revealed an unruptured aneurysm - because she spoke up and there was time.

Melissa woke up bleeding from her eye, a rare symptom that led to an unexpected brain aneurysm diagnosis. As a mother of four, she faced months of fear & uncertainty before treatment. Now she's sharing her story to remind others they're not alone. https://t.co/rvQvruAJoy
