What Are the Signs and Symptoms of a Thoracic Aneurysm?
The signs and symptoms of an aneurysm depend on its type, location, and whether it has ruptured or is interfering with other structures in the body. Aneurysms can develop and grow for years without causing any signs or symptoms. It is often not until an aneurysm ruptures or grows large enough to press on nearby parts of the body or block blood flow that it produces any signs or symptoms. A thoracic (chest) aortic aneurysm may have no symptoms until the aneurysm begins to leak or grow.
