Aneurysm, miliary (health)


"An aneurysm is a localized widening (dilatation) of an artery, vein, or the heart. At the area of an aneurysm, there is typically a bulge and the wall is weakened and may rupture. The word ""aneurysm"" comes from the Greek ""aneurysma"" meaning ""a widening."" A miliary aneurysm is tiny like a millet seed. (Millet is a cereal grass. Its seed is about 2 millimeters in diameter). Miliary aneurysms tend to affect minute arteries in the brain and, in the eye, the retina."
