What age can you get an brain aneurysm?

Any age: Most cerebral aneurysms are acquired from poorly controlled HTN (hypertension), but some are congenital... Think of errors in collagen metabolism, for example.

Any age : Aneurysms can occur in any age group but often rupture in your 40-50s. Risk factors for rupture and growth include smoking and uncontrolled high blood pressure.
