An anurism deep in the brain that was not known about until it burst. Doctors said that even if they had cought it beforehand, it was too far in the brain to fix. I would like to know if they would still be able to know what was going on around them right after it happened. And/or if they would still be able to function right after it burst.

My mum has a couple which are fortunately at the front. She said they can cause a lot of pain before they burst ( like a really bad migraine) and she was quite disoriented for a few weeks after, memory and speech wise. She's had three operated on and has another two, the first one they found was calcified. Driving is out for a while and she needed home help which us girls all pitched in to do for the first month after her ops. She's lucky that two of my sisters are actually nurses.

There really is no right answer to that question. It depends how much brain function they have left. It depends how big the aneurysm was. Sometimes they feel pain, it is possible they might be somewhat aware of what is going on. Although, if the aneurysm was very severe, they more than likely are not aware of anything. I am assuming the person you are speaking about is or was in a coma. The doctors can tell you how much of the brain was affected by the aneurysm. I would ask to speak with the doctors and ask them any questions. They have seen the CT scans and have evaluated the person.

They may have been conscious for a few seconds or a few minutes, but then it would have felt a lot like passing out or falling asleep.
The brain doesn't actually have pain receptors, so no, it didn't hurt. But the quick loss of blood pressure to the rest of the brain would have caused them to lose consciousness pretty quickly. It's actually a really painless death.

I know of a person who died of one. The last thing they said was that they had a bad headache. They were gone in a few minutes. The doctors said that they weren't even conscious for those few minutes and again there was nothing that could have been done even if they were sitting in a hospital bed.

this person likely felt a horid pain in the head and then went unconcious in seconds. no i doubt anyone could function after it burst.

its possible to catch them but if you suspect that you have one have test run. .at least go to a good ent or vascular specialist.. Most people don't know they have them till after they are burst and dead.. don't mean to scare you ,,me of all people but from what i read you usually don't have any symptoms .. just one of those things..unless they run test on your brain to see if anything shows up
