  7. (Aneurysms) An abnormal enlargement of a blood vessel caused by weakening of the fistula walls after repeatedly placing dialysis needles in the same central location. It will look like a small balloon under the skin.
  8. (Aneurysms) An abnormal increase in diameter (dilation) of a blood vessel. The rupture of intracranial aneurysms resulting in bleeding into space around the brain, can lead to severe disability or death.
  9. a thin or weak spot in an artery that balloons out and can burst.
  10. A weak point in a blood vessel, such as an artery or vein, which may then blow up like a balloon. The danger is of an aneurysm bursting and bleeding into the brain, which causes a stroke.
  11. A weakness in the blood vessel wall that balloons out and may rupture at some point. Aneurysms rarely cause symptoms before the rupture, unless they are large. They do not mimic the symptoms of migraine or cluster headache. ...
  12. a weak or thin spot on an artery wall that has stretched or ballooned out from the wall and filled with blood, or damage to an artery leading to pooling of blood between the layers of the blood vessel walls.

  21. Dilatation of an artery (Greek aneurusma, ‘dilation, swelling’)
  22. a weakness on a wall of a blood vessel (artery) which may be congenital, developmental or traumatic in origin. Over time, the area of weakness may enlarge, balloon outward and eventually rupture. ...
  23. A ballooning out of an artery in an area where the arterial wall has become weakened. Over a period of years the aneurysm will gradually expand and eventually rupture. If it is an aortic aneurysm, death will occur quickly. If it is a brain aneurysm, the victim will have a stroke.
  24. a thin-walled blister on an artery at the base of the brain.
  25. A balloon-like widening of a portion of an artery that is a weak point along the course of the vessel which may lead to rupture.
