An aneurysm or aneurism (from Greek: á¼Î½ÎµÏÏÏÏÎ¼Î±, aneurysma, dilation, from á¼Î½ÎµÏÏÏÎ½ÎµÎ¹Î½, aneurynein, to dilate) is a localized, blood-filled balloon-like bulge in the wall of a blood vessel. ruptured aneurysm can lead to bleeding and subsequent hypovolemic shock, leading to death.

Aneurysms can also be a nidus for clot formation (thrombosis) and embolization.
