A persistent nerve disorder called trigeminal neuralgia, which causes a faulty nerve that sends impulses from the face to the brain to get compressed and cause severe, stabbing facial pain, has plagued superstar Salman Khan for years. Pain from seemingly insignificant tasks like applying makeup or cleaning one’s teeth can be as excruciating as an electric shock. Salman Khan
Khan had surgery back in 2011 to release the strain on this nerve. However, the actor disclosed that he is also battling two more severe neurological illnesses in the most recent season of The Great Indian Kapil Show on Netflix.
“Even with trigeminal neuralgia, I haven’t stopped working,” Khan told Kapil Sharma. Even though I have a brain aneurysm, I continue to live my life. Even though I have an arteriovenous malformation (AVM), I continue to work.
“Both conditions affect the nervous system and can exist simultaneously,” Dr Gupta explained. Sonal Gupta, Director and Head of Neurosurgery at Fortis in New Delhi. They are not generally fatal, but if they burst, they can cause problems including internal bleeding. People over 50 are typically affected by these conditions. Men are more likely to have brain AVMs, but women are more likely to have brain aneurysms.
Arteriovenous Malformation: What Is It?
A tangled cluster of aberrant blood arteries, known as an AVM, is a congenital disease that interferes with normal blood flow and oxygen delivery to tissues. In AVM, the arteries connect directly to the veins, skipping the capillaries that usually regulate blood flow and deliver oxygen to tissues. Blood rushes through the vessels as a result, increasing their pressure. These vessels may weaken or enlarge with time.
The majority of AVM patients don’t exhibit any symptoms, and if they don’t by the time they’re fifty, they probably never will. However, depending on the size and location of the AVM, 12% of patients may experience symptoms.
Aneurysms: What Are They?
Salman Khan An aneurysm is a weakened or swollen section of an artery, resembling a balloon-like bulge. High blood pressure, atherosclerosis (artery hardening), or a genetic predisposition are some of the common causes. Any artery, including those in the brain, heart, belly, or limbs, can develop aneurysms.

The majority of adult-onset brain aneurysms do not burst, but when they do, the internal bleeding can be fatal.
Are Aneurysms and AVMs Related?
Yes, there is a substantial association if both take place in the brain. According to some research, aneurysms may be present in as much as 58% of brain AVM patients.
Symptoms of AVM and Aneurysm:
Symptoms of AVM may include ear ringing
Back discomfort or headaches
Convulsions
Weakness in muscles
Paralysis of the face
Having trouble moving or speaking
unconsciousness
In extreme situations: intestinal bleeding or a stroke
Symptoms of an aneurysm may include:
Head, chest, back, or abdomen pain that comes on suddenly and intensely Fast heartbeat Perplexity Vomiting or feeling queasy Feeling lightheaded or faint If it is torn: severe internal bleeding
Risk Elements for Both Disorders:
elevated blood pressure elevated cholesterol Which Treatments Are Available? Regarding AVMs: Catheters are used in minimally invasive procedures to enter blood arteries and reach the AVM. Using targeted radiation or radiosurgery, the AVM will gradually diminish.
Regarding aneurysms:
To reduce the risk of rupture, delicate platinum coils are threaded into the aneurysm using a thin catheter. Unless they enlarge, aneurysms smaller than 4 mm can just be observed. Usually, surgery is only considered if the aneurysm grows. Salman Khan
