Aneurysm

The following Aneurysm resources may help you find answers related to Aneurysm symptoms, diagnosis, and research.

Definition: An Aneurysm (or aneurism) is localized, blood-filled dilation (bulge) of a blood vessel caused by disease or weakening of the vessel wall.[1] Aneurysms most commonly occur in arteries at the base of the brain (the circle of Willis) and in the aorta (the main artery coming out of the heart), a so-called aortic Aneurysm. The bulge in a blood vessel can burst and lead to death at any time, much like a bulge in an over-inflated innertube. The larger an Aneurysm becomes, the more likely it is to burst. Aneurysms can be treated.
