Cynthia Martinez, a former beauty queen, was hospitalized and underwent craniotomy after she had aneurysm rupture followed by a stroke, Daily Mail reported.

Cynthia came to visit friends, where she suddenly fainted. She was hospitalized, where doctors thought she had an overdose of drugs. Recovering, the woman complained of a severe headache. It soon became clear that she had a rupture of the aneurysm of the cerebral vessel.

During the treatment of the ex-beauty queen, surgeons removed part of the skull to deal with aneurysm. The surgery was successful, but after a few days the patient suffered a stroke, and then she developed pneumonia and a pulmonary infection, and blood poisoning began.

Doctors did not hope for the survival of Cynthia, but she, despite everything, survived. The former beauty queen is sure that prayers saved her life: she prayed fervently to stay alive primarily because of her 5-year-old son.
