American media personality Kim Kardashian disclosed her brain aneurysm diagnosis to the public, as reported by U.S. media outlets. The revelation came as part of a preview for the latest season of her reality series, “The Kardashians,” recently launched on Hulu. Kardashian shared that a “little aneurysm” was detected following an MRI scan, with medical professionals suggesting that stress could have contributed to the condition, particularly in the aftermath of her divorce from musician Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) in 2022.
In the teaser clip, Kardashian expressed the ongoing connection with her ex-husband due to their four children, emphasizing that walking away was not a simple option. While advocating the benefits of full body MRI scans, some medical experts caution that they may not be suitable for all individuals, differing from Kardashian’s past endorsements.
There was no confirmation regarding any symptoms experienced by Kardashian. Requests for comments from her agent, publicist, and lawyer remained unanswered by Reuters. A brain aneurysm refers to the enlargement or protrusion of blood vessels in the brain, potentially leading to a brain bleed or hemorrhagic stroke if ruptured. Typically, small aneurysms are not life-threatening and are often incidentally discovered during routine medical evaluations for other conditions.
Although stress is not conventionally identified as a direct cause of brain aneurysms, it can impact factors like high blood pressure, which is a known risk element for such conditions as per Johns Hopkins. Kardashian, in addition to her role as a lawyer in the Hulu show “Alls Fair,” has devoted time to completing the Law Office Study Program over the past year, part of her aspiration to become a trial attorney. Earlier in the year, she provided testimony in the trial of individuals known as the “grandpa robbers,” accused of a significant jewelry theft from her during Paris Fashion Week in 2016.
