Also known as aneurism
An aneurysm is an outward bulging, likened to a bubble or balloon, caused by a localized, abnormal, weak spot on a blood vessel wall. Aneurysms may be a result of a hereditary condition or an acquired disease. Aneurysms can also be a nidus (starting point) for clot formation (thrombosis) and embolization. As an aneurysm increases in size, the risk of rupture increases, which could lead to uncontrolled bleeding. Although they may occur in any blood vessel, particularly lethal examples include aneurysms of the circle of Willis in the brain, aortic aneurysms affecting the thoracic aorta, and abdo
AI overview
An aneurysm is a bulging or balloon-like outpouching in a blood vessel wall caused by a weak spot, which can result from inherited conditions or acquired diseases. It matters because as an aneurysm grows larger, it risks rupturing and causing dangerous uncontrolled bleeding, and it can also trigger blood clots that may travel elsewhere in the body.
