Aneurysms

An aneurysm is a bulge or ballooning in the wall of a blood vessel, often occurring in arteries. This happens due to weakness in the vessel wall, which can be caused by high blood pressure, genetic factors, or injury. Aneurysms can develop anywhere in the body but are most common in the brain and the aorta, the major artery leading from the heart. If an aneurysm grows too large, it may rupture, leading to serious complications such as internal bleeding or stroke. Regular medical check-ups can help manage risks associated with aneurysms.
