Explanation

Small pseudoaneurysms refer to tiny, abnormal bulges or swellings in the wall of a blood vessel. These are not true aneurysms, but rather a collection of blood that has leaked out of the vessel and is contained by the surrounding tissue. They are usually caused by an injury to the blood vessel wall. Despite their small size, they can still pose a risk as they may rupture and cause internal bleeding.
