Aneurysm
Definition
A pathological, localized, and permanent dilation of the wall of an artery or, more rarely, of a vein or the heart, caused by the structural weakening of the muscular tunica media. This anatomical anomaly predisposes the affected vessel to progressive thinning under blood pressure, posing a major risk of fissure or rupture with consecutive life-threatening massive hemorrhages.
