“I have a small brain aneurysm,” revealed businesswoman and influencer Kim Kardashian on the reality show The Kardashians. the news quickly spread through the media, with many reports attributing the condition to the stress of her divorce from Kanye West. An MRI in October initially revealed the perhaps risky brain bulge, which could rupture. A follow-up examination occurred,but Kardashian has not yet publicly shared the details.

Kardashian has faced health challenges in the past, notably during her pregnancies. She experienced preeclampsia and placenta accreta (where the placenta grows into the uterine wall) during her pregnancies. Placenta accreta can lead to premature births and significant bleeding. Following the birth of her second child,Saint West,doctors advised against further pregnancies,leading her and her then-husband to use a surrogate mother for their next two children. In total, she spent approximately a year and a half recovering after childbirth and underwent five surgeries.
