Aneurysms are segmental dilations of arteries that may rupture and lead to massive internal bleeding. They're found in the brain but it is actually the abdominal aorta most commonly affected. Most cases are asymptomatic for a long time that patients would manifest the symptoms only when it's about to burst. Since the bleeding will come from an artery where the pressure is high, massive bleeding occurs in the event of rupture and many patients do not survive this catastrophe. There are criteria for repair of the aneurysmal defect based on the size of the aneurysm. Consult your doctor for possible management.

It depends on where the aneurysm is (brain, aorta, popliteal fossa etc.) the size, and the age and overall health of the patient.
The danger of an aneurysm , that is a weakness and ballooning of an artery, is if it ruptures. In the brain or in the aorta, this is usually fatal unless addressed rapidly. If someone has been diagnosed with an aneurysm in any area of the body, it needs to be followed by the appropriate specialist.

aneurysms are due to weakened blood vessel walls that's why blood vessels appear to be dilated. Aneurysms are dangerous especially when that ballooned portion burst.Internal hemorrhage is the danger of that and stroke.

Yes, most people don't survive if it's not caught early. It's a blood vessel in the brain that explodes. If you're worried, you should get a cat scan.

Yes, both kinds are. If you rupture one in your brain or aorta, you usually don't survive. If you do survive, most people suffer from brain damage, altered status, and memory loss.

Oh no, It's cool to have a few major blood vessels burst now and then!

yes they surely are. It is the fine line of life and death. Strokes and/or heart attacks can occur.
