An aneurysm is a localized dilation or bulging of a blood vessel, often occurring in the brain, which can lead to rupture and bleeding. In contrast, cerebral vascular insufficiency refers to inadequate blood flow to the brain, often due to narrowed or blocked arteries, which can result in symptoms like dizziness or transient ischemic attacks. While an aneurysm poses an immediate risk of hemorrhage, vascular insufficiency primarily affects blood supply and can lead to stroke over time. Both conditions are serious but differ in their underlying causes and immediate risks.
