Did you know that one in 50 people have a brain aneurysm? Bleeding from an aneurysm can happen without warning, and it’s a shocking event for the estimated 6 million people in the United States who are afflicted and survive each year.

Talking with us about brain aneurysm causes, consequences, treatment, research, and the road to recovery is David Chalif, MD, associate professor of medicine, neurology and surgery at the Zucker School of Medicine as well as chief of vascular neurosurgery and director of the Brain Aneurysm Center at Northwell Health. Dr. Chalif is joined by a patient who will share her very recent and inspirational story after suffering a brain aneurysm.
