A true aneurysm is dangerous because:

• A. It may rupture and bleed profusely
• B. It is asymptomatic always
• C. It only occurs in veins
• D. It is easily treated with exercise

Answer: (D)

Rupture and massive bleeding are the main dangers. A true aneurysm involves dilation of an artery that stretches all three layers of the vessel wall, so as it grows the wall becomes thinner and weaker. That weakness makes a rupture possible, and when a rupture occurs it can cause life‑threatening internal bleeding. Some aneurysms may not cause symptoms until a rupture or until they press on nearby structures, but the critical risk is the potential for sudden hemorrhage. True aneurysms occur in arteries rather than veins, and a false aneurysm (not the same thing) is a contained leak rather than a true dilation. Exercise does not treat an aneurysm; management centers on blood pressure control, monitoring size, and repairing the aneurysm if needed.
