AORTIC ANEURYSM Meaning and Definition

1. Aortic aneurysm refers to a medical condition characterized by an abnormal dilation or ballooning of the aorta—an essential blood vessel that carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to various parts of the body. Usually, an aortic aneurysm develops in the section of the aorta located in the abdomen (abdominal aortic aneurysm) or in the chest (thoracic aortic aneurysm). It is often caused by the weakening of the wall of the aorta due to various factors, such as age, high blood pressure, tobacco use, atherosclerosis, genetic predisposition, or connective tissue disorders.

   The size and rate of growth of an aortic aneurysm can vary from person to person, and in some cases, it may remain small and healthy without causing any symptoms. However, larger aneurysms or those that expand rapidly pose a greater risk of complications, including rupture, which can result in severe internal bleeding and life-threatening consequences.

   Common symptoms of an aortic aneurysm may not be evident until a rupture occurs; these symptoms can include sudden, severe abdominal or back pain, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, difficulty breathing, or loss of consciousness. Diagnosis of an aortic aneurysm typically involves imaging tests like ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI.

   Treatment options for an aortic aneurysm depend on various factors such as aneurysm size, rate of growth, and overall health condition. Small aneurysms may require regular monitoring, while larger aneurysms may necessitate surgical intervention, such as endovascular repair or open surgery, to prevent rupture and associated potentially fatal consequences.
