Larsa Pippen, 52, has revealed she was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm, describing the situation as a "scary health ordeal." The "Real Housewives of Miami" star shared the update via her Instagram Story on Thursday.
Pippen reposted a headline about Matt Damon revealing that his wife, Luciana Barroso, suffered a brain aneurysm in 2024 and underwent surgery. "I get diagnosed with a brain aneurysm yesterday, and I wake up to this," Pippen captioned the post. "I'm sick."
A brain aneurysm is defined by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke as a weak spot on a blood vessel in the brain that fills with blood and bulges out, potentially pressing on the brain and nerves. If a brain aneurysm ruptures, it can lead to brain damage, coma, or death.
Pippen has previously spoken about health issues. Last year, she disclosed an allergic reaction to a PRP (platelet-rich plasma) facial treatment that caused her face to swell.
Matt Damon's wife, Luciana Barroso, had surgery for her brain aneurysm the week before the 2024 Oscars, but still attended afterparties with her husband to celebrate his film "Oppenheimer."
