Aneurysm
===========

An aneurysm occurs when an artery’s wall weakens and causes an abnormally large bulge. This bulge can rupture and cause internal bleeding.

A brain aneurysm can leak or rupture, causing bleeding into the brain (hemorrhagic stroke). Most often a ruptured brain aneurysm occurs in the space between the brain and the thin tissues covering the brain. This type of hemorrhagic stroke is called a subarachnoid hemorrhage.

DURA MATER:
===============
The brain is encased by three meningeal layers of protective covering.

The dura mater is the outermost layer of the meninges, lying directly underneath the bones of the skull and vertebral column. It is thick, tough and inextensible.

It is composed of dense fibrous tissue, and its inner surface is covered by flattened cells like those present on the surfaces of the pia mater and arachnoid. The dura mater is a sac that envelops the arachnoid and has been modified to serve several functions. The dura mater surrounds and supports the large venous channels (dural sinuses) carrying blood from the brain toward the heart.

Benign Tumors
==================

Tumors are a growth of cells that serve no real purpose.
A benign tumor is one that isn't cancerous or malignant in any way.

They do not spread like cancerous tumors and are generally harmless, hence requiring to real treatment. It is recommended to patiently observe the tumor. If any dangerous growth is observed, like;

- The tumor growing in mass
- Symptoms that interrupt daily tasks.

Surgery may be required to remove the tumor without disturbing the surrounding tissue.

Transient Global Amnesia
=====================

Transient global amnesia is a sudden, temporary episode of memory loss that can't be attributed to a more common neurological condition, such as epilepsy or stroke.

The individual, as the name suggests, is in a temporary state of amnesia, where they can only recall stronger, long term memories such as:
- Who they are
- Where they are from
- Their relatives and friends

They may not remember:
- Where they are
- Why they are here
- How they got here
- Some events from a day, month or even a year ago.

This peculiar pathology has a sudden onset and lasts on average 4-6 hours, although it can get to extend up to 24 hours. At the end of the episode, the person fully recovers his neurological functions, but a "black hole" of a few hours is left, corresponding to the time frame in which he was unable to form new memories.
