On the report from my CT scan, it says that I have a fusiform aneurysm. What kind of aneurysm is this?
This word refers to the shape of the aneurysm. When the enlargement is uniform – that is, the blood vessel bulges equally in all directions – it is called fusiform. Aneurysms that bulge out in only one place or on one side of the blood vessel are called saccular, since they have the appearance of a sack on one side of the vessel.
