Biden had two brain aneurysms near 1990.
Here, Joe Biden is seen returning back to the US Senate after recovering from his surgery caused by at least two brain aneurysms he suffered.
In his post surgery period, then Senator Biden suffered a pulmonary embolism putting him out of service for the people of Delaware for many many months.
Listen to Biden Discuss his Surgeries
"I had two cranial aneurysms, and they literally had to take the top of my head off."

"Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. underwent surgery today to correct an aneurysm in an artery that supplies blood to the right side of the brain, a spokesman for the Walter Reed Army Medical Center said.
The spokesman, Peter Esker, said Senator Biden was awake, resting comfortably and talking with his family after the operation, his second this year to correct an aneurysm. An aneurysm is a ballooning of an artery.
The 4 1/2-hour procedure was similar to that performed Feb. 12 on the left side of Mr. Biden's brain. Under the procedure, a surgeon using a microscope pinches the aneurysm with a clip, bringing the walls of the artery together. The clip remains in the patient."
Long-term effects
According to a top neurologist who watched the investigative documentary JoeBidenIsSick.com, it is probably that whatever Biden is suffering could be the result of a decades-old biological bill that has come due. Even successful surgeries and scar tissue can betray patients decades later.
Causes of Parkinson's Disease
The specific cause of PD is unknown. However, medical experts believe the symptoms are related to a chemical imbalance in the brain caused by brain-cell death. Patients are often classified as having primary Parkinsonism or idiopathic Parkinson’s disease. (Idiopathic is the term for a disorder for which no cause has yet been identified).
In primary Parkinsonism, either the cause is known or suspected, or the disorder occurs as a secondary effect of another primary neurological disorder that may have both primary and secondary symptoms of Parkinson disease.
Columbia University Neurological Surgery
- Tumors in the brain
- Repeated head trauma
- Drug-induced Parkinsonism – prolonged use of tranquilizing drugs, such as the phenothiazines, butyrophenones, reserpine, and the commonly used drug, metoclopramide for stomach upset.
- Striatonigral degeneration – the substantia nigra of the brain is only mildly affected, while other areas of the brain show more severe damage.
- Postencephalitic Parkinsonism – a viral disease that causes “sleeping sickness.”
- Toxin-induced Parkinsonism – manganese and carbon monoxide poisoning.
- Parkinsonism that accompanies other neurological conditions – such as Shy-Drager syndrome (multiple system atrophy), progressive supranuclear palsy, Wilson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome, Alzheimer’s disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, olivopontocerebellar atrophy, and post-traumatic encephalopathy.
Exclusive From a Top Neurologist:
"It's interesting that he had had a ruptured cerebral aneurysm... Years after this problem, people can develop something called "superficial siderosis." Among other things, dementia and Parkinsonism are two possible late effects of superficial siderosis.
So is Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus, which is characterized by Parkinsonian symptoms and dementia that wax and wane, making it very difficult to predict when someone will be normal or symptomatic."
