Kim Kardashian Says Prenuvo Scan Found Years-Old Brain Aneurysm

She pursued follow-up imaging with a neurosurgeon after the finding, prompting family pleas to ease her workload.

Overview

  • After sending her scan to Dr. Keith Black, she was told to undergo comprehensive imaging, including additional brain scans at Cedars-Sinai.
  • She says doctors warned that stress could precipitate rupture, and she described studying up to 10 hours a day for the bar exam and breaking out in hives.
  • Kourtney Kardashian voiced concern and urged postponing law studies, while Kim said she is only months from finishing and wants her children to see her pursuing education.
  • During filming she was juggling bar preparation, the Met Gala and a planned appearance related to her Paris robbery case, and she later shared that she did not pass the November California bar exam.
  • Coverage notes many unruptured aneurysms are monitored rather than treated immediately, and specialists say stress itself is not a proven direct cause even as high blood pressure and other factors influence rupture risk.
