Focused, Experienced Medical Malpractice Representation
An aneurysm (also spelled aneurysm ) involves the weakening of blood vessel walls creating a localized bulge that grows to the point where it may burst under pressure, and cause instant death if allowed to go undetected. The untimely death of Ohio Representative Stephanie Tubbs Jones due to a brain aneurysm underscores how this often fatal event can leave grieving families and communities struggling for answers about how it could have been avoided.
Aneurysm Misdiagnosis
Aneurysms typically occur in blood vessels supplying the brain or the abdomen, and can be clipped or coiled if found early. While the most common symptom of a cerebral aneurysm is a severe headache often described as the worst headache of your life, aneurysm victims can experience other symptoms:
- Localized head or neck pain
- Bleeding or leaks
- Blurred or double vision
- Sensitivity to light (photophobia)
- Nausea and vomiting
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (also called "AAA" or "Triple A") signs include back or abdominal pain. The condition is preventable by studying certain risk factors including age, family history and previous brain or heart conditions. However, doctors and other medical professionals can ignore the signs or otherwise fail to properly diagnose an impending aneurysm. When they do, the result could be a valid medical malpractice or wrongful death claim. Our skilled lawyers are ready to help.
