Kim Kardashian’s recent diagnosis of a brain aneurysm comes along with some shocking details.
Appearing on the November 20 episode of The Kardashians, the 45-year-old SKIMS founder revealed to her sister, Kourtney Kardashian, that doctors detected an aneurysm in her brain.
She said, “I did a Prenuvo scan, and they called me today, and they’re like, ‘Everything looks great. But you have an aneurysm in your brain.’ They’re like, ‘It’s been there for like years. It was here a few years ago.”
According to PEOPLE, a Prenuvo scan is a full-body MRI that acts as a proactive health tool to detect diseases and ailments early.
Following this revelation, Kim contacted brain surgeon Keith Black to inquire about the situation. She shared, “I sent him a picture of it, and he was like, ‘I want you to come in for all this imaging.’ And then I asked, I was like, ‘Can I wait? ‘Cause what makes it rupture?’ And they’re like, ‘Just stress.'”
Considering that the mom of four went through a stressful situation – preparing for the bar exam “10 hours a day” – waiting for the situation to settle was definitely not an option. Not only that, but the American media personality further added, “I have four kids that depend on me. I have to be sane. It’s stressful out there, but this aneurysm can’t be stressed.”

Kourtney, 46, said in a confessional, “I’m definitely worried about Kim. She has so much going on between work and her four kids that I don’t want her to have an aneurysm, of course.” Concerned with the growing health concerns, Kourtney also stated her failure to understand why her sister is pursuing an additional career in law.
“I’m not shaming or judging, but isn’t there a time to do it later once your kids are more grown and they don’t need you as much?” asked Kourtney, according to E! News.
Be that as it may, Kim has always looked forward to creating her career in law.
“I love that my kids see me go to school. When I drop them off at school, they see me go to school. I enjoy that”, Kim said in her own confessional.
Expressing her love for enhancing knowledge, the founder said, “I love educating myself. I just wouldn’t feel like myself if I were always learning and trying new things.”
Following the revelation of the aneurysm diagnosis on the season 7 premiere episode, Kim appeared on Good Morning America, where she shared an update on her health.
Speaking to host Robin Roberts last month, she said, “You’ll see in the next episode, I did go and get a Prenuvo scan. And I had to end up going and getting tons of other brain scans at Cedars[-Sinai] with all the team.”
She cheered her fans to “tune in” to the show to see how things unravel, while also promising that “everything works out.”
“It’s just a good measure to go. Make sure that you always check everything. Health is wealth, and you just have to be careful with everything that you do,” Kim advised her fans.
Apart from her bar exams, Kim reportedly opened up about another source of stress in her life, her relationship with her ex-husband, Kanye West. In the previous of the latest season of the Kardashians, Kim shared, “I was pretty tested, I will say. Very tested. I mean, I have psoriasis again. I felt it. I mean, I felt more stressed, probably just because I had to super, super protect what I had to protect. My kids are involved now.”
