Aneurysm

An aneurysm is a bulge or weak spot in the wall of a blood vessel, often an artery. As blood flows through the vessel, the pressure can cause the weak area to expand, similar to a balloon. If it grows too large, it can rupture, leading to potentially serious complications such as internal bleeding or stroke. Aneurysms can occur in various parts of the body, including the brain and abdomen, and may not cause symptoms until they become critical. Early detection and monitoring are important for preventing serious outcomes.
