What is Aneurysm?

An aneurysm is an abnormal swelling or bulge in the wall of a blood vessel, such as an artery. It begins as a weak spot in the blood vessel wall, which balloons out of shape over time by the force of the pumping blood. Usually, aneurysms develop at the point where a blood vessel branches, because the ‘fork’ is structurally more vulnerable.

Aneurysms can occur anywhere throughout the circulatory system, but most commonly develop along the aorta (the body’s main artery that runs the length of the trunk from the heart) and in blood vessels of the brain. Aneurysms are potentially fatal if they rupture. Death can occur within minutes., according to Better Health Channel.

Symptoms of an aneurysm

An aneurysm may have no symptoms (asymptomatic) until it is either very large or it ruptures. Symptoms depend on which blood vessel is affected.

Types of aneurysms

Different types of aneurysms include cerebral aneurysms, thoracic aortic aneurysms and abdominal aortic aneurysms.

Causes of aneurysms

Some of the causes of aneurysms as reported by Better Health Channel include:

• Weakness in the blood vessel wall that is present from birth (congenital aneurysm).
• High blood pressure (hypertension) over many years resulting in damage and weakening of blood vessels.
• Fatty plaques (atherosclerosis) resulting in a weakness of the blood vessel wall.
• Inherited diseases that may result in weaker than normal blood vessel walls.
• Trauma, such as a crush injury to the chest.
• The sexually transmitted infection (STI) syphilis, if untreated, targeting the aorta and weakening its walls
• Polycystic kidney disease increasing the risk of cerebral aneurysm.
• Very occasionally, an infection targeting and weakening a section of blood vessel.

The cause sometimes remains unknown, Better Health Channel adds.
