ABSTRACT

An aneurysm is a balloon-like expansion in the wall of a weakened blood vessel. If the vessel wall is too stretched, the vessel can rupture, which is a life-threatening complication. There may be a familial predisposition, but specific causes include atherosclerosis, fungal infections, syphilis, aortitis, or trauma. The most significant is an aortic aneurysm, which can occur in any part of the aorta, but 3/4 of them occur in the abdominal aorta.
