A member asked:
Could an aneurysm be caused my trauma to the chest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Severe, blunt force trauma, most often from a motor vehicle collision, can cause a traumatic disruption of the aorta that usually looks like a contained rupture or pseudoaneurysm of the aorta. This can only be diagnosed with imaging studies after consultation with a doctor.
