Intracranial berry aneurysm, X-ray
Intracranial berry aneurysm, coloured X-ray. Side view of the skull of a 44-year-old patient with an intracranial berry, or saccular, aneurysm (white) of the anterior communicating artery of the brain. Aneurisms are localised, blood-filled balloon-like bulges in the wall of a blood vessel. They form when the wall is weakened by disease or another cause. If they burst there is the danger of death or other complications due to severe hemorrhaging (bleeding)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured X-ray image of an intracranial berry aneurysm, providing a side view of the skull belonging to a 44-year-old patient. The white-coloured bulge represents the presence of this saccular aneurysm in the anterior communicating artery of the brain. Aneurysms are localized and blood-filled balloon-like formations that occur when the wall of a blood vessel weakens due to disease or other factors. The significance of this image lies in its ability to shed light on the potential dangers associated with such conditions. If left untreated, these aneurysms can rupture, leading to severe hemorrhaging and potentially fatal consequences. Therefore, it becomes crucial for medical professionals to identify and address these issues promptly. Through false colouring techniques employed in this illustration, viewers gain valuable insights into the intricate circulatory system within our bodies. This particular image emphasizes both frontal and cerebral regions while highlighting the arterial network responsible for supplying oxygenated blood throughout our brains. By capturing this momentous visual representation, Science Photo Library contributes immensely to medical research and healthcare practices worldwide. It serves as a reminder of how vital early detection and appropriate treatment are in preventing life-threatening complications arising from intracranial berry aneurysms.
