Understanding Epiplocele (False Aneurysm): Causes, Risks, and Treatment Options
Epiplocele (also known as "false aneurysm") is a rare condition that occurs when there is bleeding into the space between the two layers of the blood vessel wall, causing the vessel to balloon out. This can occur due to various causes such as trauma, infection, or inflammatory conditions.
Epiplocele is different from true aneurysm, where there is dilatation of the entire vessel wall, and it is often associated with a higher risk of rupture and bleeding complications. Treatment options for epiplocele include observation, endovascular embolization, or surgical repair, depending on the severity and location of the condition.
