Aneurysms that occur in the part of the aorta within the abdomen are called abdominal aortic aneurysms.
Aneurysms found in the region of the aorta within the chest are called thoracic aortic aneurysms.
aneurysms
A ascending aortic aneurysm are the second most common aortic aneurysms to abdominal aortic aneurysms. These aneuryms are typically diagnosed in patients that are in their 6th or 7th decade in life. A patient experiencing an ascending aortic aneurysms will feel chest pain.

Cerebral aneurysms are usually aneurysms we are born with. There are certain conditions, however, that can predispose one to develop aneurysms later in life. Hypertension can cause small aneurysms in the brain stem and midbrain that can bleed - these usually are not able to be seen because they are so small, however. Another possible cause is infections. These aneurysms are called mycotic aneurysms and are the result of infectious material, or emboli, being lodged in the cerebral arteries, causing a localized infection and weakening of the artery walls, leading to aneurysmal formation.

Small aneurysms should be monitored for their rate of growth and large aneurysms require consideration for a surgical repair.
Aortic aneurysms are potentially life-threatening conditions.
The organs found in the chest are the lungs and the heart.
Aneurysms can occur in any artery of the body. The three most common and the main areas of concern for aneurysms to occur are the brain, abdominal aorta, and the femoral artery.
The curved bones of the chest is called ribs
Aneurysms often cause no pain and are usually detected in body scans. You can suffer from a large aneurysms yet have no symptoms. A few symptoms that may start are facial pain, loss of vision, tremors or uncontrollable movement of the eye or eyelid. More obvious symptoms can include coughing up blood, difficulty swallowing, or chest pain.
