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.
