Aneurysm
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
An aneurysm is an abnormal dilation or bulging in the wall of a blood vessel, generally an artery, that weakens and widens in one area.
Where it may appear: It occurs in different arteries of the body, such as the aorta or those of the brain, and often produces no symptoms until it grows.
When to see a doctor? It is advisable to seek care in the face of a family history, blood pressure that is difficult to control, or unexplained discomfort; follow-up helps monitor its progression.
Which specialist treats it? Depending on its location, the angiologist, the vascular surgeon, or the cardiologist are involved, among other professionals. If you have cardiovascular risk factors, discussing it with a specialist allows for a timely evaluation.
