LOS ANGELES: Kim Kardashian has opened up about a health scare that had been quietly affecting her for years. In a recent episode of The Kardashians, the SKIMS founder revealed that doctors discovered an aneurysm in her brain, which they believe had been present for several years without her knowledge.
Speaking to her sister Kourtney Kardashian, Kim explained, “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… It’s been there for like years.’” Following the diagnosis, she immediately consulted renowned brain surgeon Dr. Keith Black for guidance and further imaging.

Kim revealed that stress was identified as a key factor that could cause the aneurysm to rupture. At the time, she was preparing intensely for the bar exam, studying up to 10 hours a day, which added to the concerns over her health. Kourtney expressed her worry, noting the pressure her sister carries with work and raising four children.
A Prenuvo scan, which detected the aneurysm, is a full-body MRI designed to identify potential health issues early. Kim first shared her aneurysm news during the season 7 premiere of her reality series and later discussed it on Good Morning America.
As of now, Kim Kardashian has not provided further updates on her health or treatment plans.
