Brain Aneurysms Come With Few Warning Signs, Says White Plains Doctor WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.  -- Brain aneurysms, such as the one that led to the death of Stamford resident and WABC-TV Channel 7 reporter Lisa Colagrossi last week, are typically asymptomatic and difficult to predict, doctors say.  A brain aneurysm, basically a bulging in a blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the brain, is something that can burst out of the blue, often with no warning signs. "It's tragic what happened to the WABC reporter," said Dr. Jeffrey Berman, Chief of Neurology at White Plains Hospital. "But people need to bear in mind that this is not a common occurance." …
