Reality television star Kim Kardashian has shared surprising results from her recent brain scan that revealed concerning medical findings. The 45-year-old celebrity discovered she has low brain activity and an aneurysm that has been present in her brain for several years.
Shocking Diagnosis During Television Show
During the latest episode of her family's reality series The Kardashians, Kim met with celebrity doctor Dr. Daniel Amen to review her brain imaging results. The scan showed unusually low frontal lobe activity, which immediately concerned the star.
Kim initially rejected the findings, stating firmly: "That just can't be. It just can't. I'm not accepting." She tried to maintain a lighthearted attitude during the appointment, joking about having "a beautiful brain" and referencing previous scans Dr. Amen had conducted on her sisters Khloé and Kendall in 2022.
Chronic Stress Identified as Primary Cause
According to Dr. Amen's analysis, the low brain activity directly resulted from chronic stress that Kim has been experiencing. The reality star agreed this diagnosis made perfect sense, given the multiple pressures in her life.
Kim specifically pointed to the intense stress of preparing for the California Bar Exam while simultaneously dealing with the emotional aftermath of her divorce from Kanye West since 2022. She has been juggling these challenges alongside her business responsibilities and co-parenting duties.
Dr. Amen noted concerning "holes" in the brain scan that indicated areas of low activity. He warned that her frontal lobes weren't functioning at the level required to manage such intense stress effectively.
Additional Health Concerns Revealed
In a separate medical discovery, Kim previously revealed to her sister Kourtney that a Prenuvo full-body scan detected an aneurysm in her brain that doctors confirmed had been present for years.
The concerned celebrity consulted renowned brain surgeon Dr. Keith Black, who delivered a serious warning: the intense stress Kim has been experiencing could significantly increase the risk of complications related to the aneurysm.
Despite these health concerns, Kim remains determined to continue her legal career journey. She recently announced she failed the July 2025 bar exam but declared: "I got to get on a plan to really figure this out because I have some s*** to do this summer."
Dr. Amen did provide some reassurance during their consultation, noting that Kim doesn't appear to be at high risk for Alzheimer's disease and actually demonstrates "extraordinary" positivity in her outlook.
