Study Notes
Aneurysms
- Berry aneurysms are a type of saccular aneurysm found in the circle of Willis.
- Most berry aneurysms are asymptomatic.
- Berry aneurysms can present with blood in the cerebrospinal fluid during a spinal tap.
Arteriovenous Fistulas and Malformations
- Arteriovenous fistulas or malformations are the most common congenital blood flow diseases.
- The most common management of AV fistulas is controlling blood pressure.
- The middle cerebral artery is the most common location for AV fistulas.
Hemangiomas
- Hemangioma is a tumor of capillaries.
- Capillary hemangiomas are present at birth and will spontaneously regress. They have capillaries of normal size.
- Cavernous hemangiomas are known as port wine stains and have wider lumens and pooling of blood. They will not fade with time.
- Sturge-Weber syndrome is a type of cavernous hemangioma that extends through the skull to affect the brain due to dystrophic calcifications and absence of hypercalcemia.
Coarctation of the Aorta
- Infantile coarctation of the aorta is a rare disease with severe narrowing of the aorta proximal to the ductus arteriosus.
- Adult (post-ductal) coarctation of the aorta is the most common comorbidity with Turner syndrome and the most common form of coarctation of the aorta.
-
Post-ductal coarctation is found in adults and often presents with features like:
- Rib notching
- Delayed femoral pulse
- Distal thigh pain
- Hypertension (due to renin production in the kidneys)
- Post-ductal coarctation causes ischemic blood flow to the kidneys, activating renin and leading to hypertension.
Marfan Syndrome
- Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder affecting fibrillin production, leading to cardiovascular complications.
-
Marfan syndrome can affect the cardiovascular system in the following ways:
- Aneurysm of the root of the aorta
- Dissecting aneurysm
- Aortic valve incompetence
- Marfan syndrome causes cystic changes, particularly affecting the tunica media of the aortic arch.
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
- Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a group of genetic disorders affecting collagen formation.
- Ehlers-Danlos syndrome can cause hyperextensibility of the skin, poor wound healing, and a condition known as "rubber band man".
