What is an "aneurysm"?

An aneurysm is a lump or weakened area in the wall of a blood vessel. It can occur in any blood vessel in the body but is most commonly found in arteries, particularly those in the brain, aorta, and legs. Aneurysms can develop slowly over time or occur suddenly due to injury or disease. While small aneurysms may not cause any symptoms, larger ones can put pressure on surrounding tissues or burst, leading to serious complications such as internal bleeding or stroke. Treatment options depend on the size, location, and seriousness of the aneurysm and may include medications, surgery, or other procedures to repair or strengthen the blood vessel wall. Early detection and management are crucial for preventing complications and improving outcomes for individuals with aneurysms.
