According to the NHS<\/a>, an aneurysm is a ballooning of a blood vessel in the brain. If it ruptures, it can lead to severe internal bleeding and be life-threatening. Small aneurysms that have not ruptured are usually monitored with regular check-ups rather than immediate surgery.<\/p>\n

Health statistics show the prevalence and risks of brain aneurysms and According to the Brain Aneurysm Foundation, roughly 6.8 million Americans, about one in 50, live with an unruptured aneurysm.<\/p>\n

Around 30,000 people experience a rupture each year, and globally, nearly 500,000 deaths are linked to aneurysms annually, with half of the victims younger than 50.<\/p>\n

Kim has been open about her previous health struggles down through the years, She has long dealt with autoimmune conditions, including psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She also spoke about suffering from placenta accreta during the births of daughter North and son Saint, a condition in which the placenta embeds too deeply in the uterus, causing risk of heavy bleeding.<\/p>\n
