Flashcards
Marfan Syndrome
Marfan Syndrome
A genetic disorder affecting connective tissue, increasing the risk of berry aneurysms and subsequent subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).
Aortic Coarctation
Aortic Coarctation
A condition characterized by narrowing of the aorta, potentially leading to high blood pressure and increased strain on the arteries, making berry aneurysms more likely.
Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease
Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease
A genetic disorder affecting the kidneys, characterized by multiple cysts, which can increase the risk of berry aneurysms due to high blood pressure and abnormal blood vessel formation.

Study Notes
Conditions Associated with Berry Aneurysms
- Conditions more likely associated with berry aneurysms include Marfan syndrome, aortic coarctation, and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
- Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and sickle cell anemia are also linked, often with smoking tobacco history.
- Atherosclerosis and a family history of hypertension and hyperlipidemia are also significant factors.
Differential Diagnoses for Hematuria
- Conditions to consider include infection, polycystic kidney disease.
- Exercise, external trauma, and renal glomerular disease are also important considerations in differential diagnosis.
- Benign prostatic hyperplasia, cancerous or congenital anomalies (obstruction, cysts, hypercalciuria [crystals]), and stones or sickle cell anemia.
