An aneurysm is a ballooning-out of the wall of an artery, vein or the heart due to weakening of the wall by disease, injury or an abnormality present at birth. Aneurysms are often caused or aggravated by high blood pressure. They aren't always life-threatening, but serious consequences such as a stroke can result if one bursts in the brain. This is called hemorrhagic stroke.
