Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your neighbor diagnosed with leaking blood vessels on the right side of her brain with facial swelling yes it is case for concern I am suggesting she has developed one of the following conditions

subarachnoid hemorrhage
Intracranial hemorrhage
Cerebral tumor
Obstructive hydrocephalus (swollen brain due to obstruction)

In view of this she will require a CT scan to rule out the above conditions

Hence let her see the neurosurgeon for further clinical assessment and possible surgical interventional procedures likely a bore hole surgery

I hope this helps
Regards and get well soonest
