An aortic aneurysm is a general term for any swelling (dilatation or aneurysm) of the aorta, usually representing an underlying weakness in the wall of the aorta at that location. While the stretched vessel may occasionally cause discomfort, a greater concern is the risk of rupture, which causes severe pain; massive internal hemorrhage; and, without prompt treatment, results in a quick death.

According to the Mayo Clinic, surgery for an aortic aneurysm depends on where the aneurysm is and how fast it is growing. If it's a slow growing aneurysm, the doctor might choose to simply wait and see how the aneurysm is progressing as it might not require surgery at all. If it is a fast growing aneurysm, the doctor would prefer to plan a surgery in advance but will perform an emergency surgery if the aneurysm is in danger of bursting.
An aneurysm is a ballooned, weakened arterial wall.
An aortalgia is an instance of pain caused by an aneurysm or similar condition of the aorta.
Aortic dilation is the widening of the aorta. This widening could be an aortic aneurysm.
An aneurysm is a localized, blood-filled dilation of a blood vessel caused by disease or weakening of the vessel wall. They most commonly occur in areteries, especially the aorta. However, there is no such thing as an "auto" aneurysm.
A dilated aorta is an aorta that is wider than normal. This is indicative of an aortic aneurysm, or a bulging of the aorta due to a weakening in the walls of the aorta. Aortic aneurysms are dangerous because they can cause the walls of the aorta to tear--aortic dissection--or rupture completely, leading to severe internal bleeding. Aortic aneurysms are repaired with surgery, but can sometimes be monitored to avoid or delay surgery. Because of the life-threatening risks associated with aortic aneurysm, medical consultation should be sought.
