Aneurysms most commonly occur in arteries at the base of the brain (the is
an aortic aneurysm. This bulge in a blood vessel can burst and lead to
treated. The layer of the artery that is in direct contact with the flow of blood is
the tunica intima, commonly called the intima. This layer is made up of mainly
endothelial cells. Adjacent to this layer is the tunica media, known as the
media. This "middle layer" is made up of smooth muscle cells and elastic
tissue. The outermost layer (farthest from the flow of blood) is known as the
tunica adventitia or the adventitia. This layer is composed of connective
tissue.
Aneurysms are also described according to size: Saccular or fusiform. A
saccular aneurysm resembles a small sack; a fusiform aneurysm is shaped
like a spindle. Aneurysms can be broken down into two groups: true
aneurysms and false aneurysms. A true aneurysm involves an outpouching of
all three layers of a blood vessel: the intima, the media, and the adventitia.
True aneurysms can be due to congenital malformations, infections, or
hypertension. A false aneurysm, also known as a pseudoaneurysm, involves
an outpouching of only the adventitia. Pseudoaneurysms can be due to
trauma involving the intima of the blood vessel, and are a known complication
of percutaneous arterial procedures.
Aneurysms can occur anywhere where there is a blood vessel, although they
are most common in arteries. Most non-intracranial aneurysms (95%) arise
distal to the origin of the renal arteries at the infrarenal abdominal aorta, a
condition mostly caused by atherosclerosis. The thoracic aorta can also be
involved. One common form of thoracic aortic aneurysm involves widening of
the proximal aorta and the aortic root, which leads to aortic insufficiency.
Aneurysms occur in the legs also, particularly in the deep vessels (e.g., the
popliteal vessels in the knee). Arterial aneurysms are much more common,
but venous aneurysms do happen (for example, the popliteal venous
aneurysm). While most aneurysms occur in an isolated form, the occurrence
of berry aneurysms of the anterior communicating artery of the circle of Willis
is associated with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).
The third stage of syphilis also manifests as aneurysm of the aorta, which is
due to loss of the vasa vasorum in the tunica adventitia.
Rupture and blood clotting are the risks involved with aneurysms. Rupture
leads to drop in blood pressure, rapid heart rate, and lightheadedness. The
risk of death is high except for rupture in the extremities.
