Experts encourage individuals to be aware of the symptoms, such as sudden, severe headaches, blurred vision, or nausea, which can signal a medical emergency.
Though details of the aneurysm of Orsini are yet unexplained, her case started discussions concerning the increasing interest in health problems from brain activity in people in stressful activity.
