aneurysm rupture

An aneurysm rupture occurs when a weakened area in a blood vessel wall suddenly breaks open, causing blood to leak out. This can happen unexpectedly and can be life-threatening, especially if it occurs in major arteries like the brain or abdomen. The rupture leads to rapid bleeding, which can cause symptoms such as sudden severe pain, loss of consciousness, or neurological problems. The severity depends on the location and amount of bleeding. Prompt medical treatment is crucial to manage the bleeding and prevent serious complications or death.
