Aneurysm

An aneurysm is a bulge in a vein or artery. As aneurysms get larger, they have an increased chance of rupturing. This can have severe consequences including a chance of death.

What is a true aneurysm?

A true aneurysm is an expansion of all the the layers of an arterial wall as compared to a pseudoaneurysm which is a dilation of an artery with actual disruption of one or more layers of its walls, rather than with expansion of all wall layers. Also called false aneurysm.

How can you kill someone with a aneurysm?

Yes you can. If there is a severe blockage in the artery, and blood is unable to flow, an aneurysm will form. This is balloons out as an extension to the artery and fills with blood. If too much blood is in the 'balloon' it will burst causing a lot of damage to the surrounding cells and organs. In severe cases it can cause death. Other cases severe internal bleeding and a need for blood transfusion.

Your parents live in Virginia Beach VA your father has a aneurysm and needs to move back to Il Condo owner they lease from will not let them out of the remaining 6 mo of lease Lease needs to be broken?

Is the Lease assignable and/or can you sublet it? If your Lease says you can, or if the Lessor will allow it, you could find someone else to take over the terms of the Lease without interruption (which is an "assignment" - you're assigning the lease terms to someone else.) "Subletting" means that someone else would stay there and pay your parents, and then your parents pay the Lessor. This, too, usually requires Lessor permission. Breaking a lease can have serious repercussions for credit (and possibly future housing.) Investigate all your options (including reading the lease yourself and/or having counsel go over it.)

Can getting hit in the head cause a brain aneurysm?

A blow to the head can cause a brain aneurysm, but this cause is only 1% of all cases, so it's unlikely.

Why is an angioplasty an incorrect treatment for an aneurysm?

Angioplasty is an incorrect treatment for an aneurysm because it is designed to open narrowed or blocked arteries, not to address the bulging or weak area of a blood vessel that characterizes an aneurysm. Aneurysms require stabilization or repair to prevent rupture, often through surgical methods such as clipping or endovascular stent placement. Angioplasty could inadvertently exacerbate the aneurysm by increasing pressure on the weakened vessel wall. Therefore, specific interventions targeting the aneurysm are necessary for effective treatment.

What is involved in recovery after brain aneurysm surgery when a clipping procedure was performed?

The outcome of brain aneurysm recovery is different among each survivor as each brain is wired differently. This makes it difficult to document any sort of general recovery method. The most common source for recovery is plenty of sleep.

Are aneurysms and seizures linked?

As an aneurysm is considered a blood clot and a brain aneurysm is classified as a TBI, they both can affect brain activity and neuronal activity in the body; therefore, aneurysms can directly cause seizures, and possibly lead to the disease known as epilepsy. However, a person can develop epilepsy at birth without having an aneurysm. Epilepsy has many causes besides an aneurysm, and many factors and causes, unfortunately, can result in a person being diagnosed with epilepsy and/or seizures.

Why is abdominal ultrasound used when an abdominal aortic aneurysm is suspected?

it can be readily identified and monitored with ultrasound before acute complications result.

What is the process known as aneurysm obliteration?

The placement of surgical clips to the neck of the lesion. Thus, the aneurysm becomes isolated from the normal circulation without damaging adjacent vessels and shrinks to become undetectable.

What is an aneurysm and what can be a possible out come of having one?

An aneurism is an outpouching of a blood vessel. Possible outcomes include, but are not limited to;

Bleeding from the aneurism bursting.

Potential death.

Why are there 2 measurements ie 3.8 cm x 4.8 cm for an Abdominal aortic aneurysm?

What is a cerebral Murphy's tit?

Sign of aneurysm rupture on cerebral angiography.

What are the 3 major aneurysms?

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.

Does epinephrine overdose cause brain aneurysms?

I don't believe so, but it WILL cause a coronary artery spasm as per http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2757714, and probably severe arrhythmia as a result. Best advice: don't OD!
