چکیده
Robinson, W. M., McMillan, I. K. R., and Johnson, A. M. (1973). Thorax, 529-532. Saccular aneurysm caused by bacterial endocarditis in a syphilitic aorta. The rapid development of a saccular aneurysm during successfully treated bacterial endocarditis, in an ascending aorta previously affected by syphilis which had been treated with adequate chemotherapy 15 years previously, is described. Although bacterial endocarditis does occasionally complicate syphilitic aortic valve disease, the literature does not contain any report of resulting aneurysm development. The investigation and successful surgical treatment of the case are described.

متن کاملA Pathological Study of Syphilitic Aortitis and Its Serology
1. Syphilitic aortitis is a productive inflammatory process, the earliest and most constant feature of which is a perivascular round cell infiltration in the adventitia. 2. The typical gross picture of luetic aortitis is often obscured by a superimposed, diffuse atherosclerosis. In the early cases the aorta appears fairly normal, presenting only the characteristic histological changes. 3. A pur...
متن کاملAcute bacterial endarteritis.
Abnormality of a valve predisposes to bacterial endocarditis, even when mechanical beating action is absent, as in destruction of a cusp by previous rheumatic disease. Yet the formation of vegetations at sites other than valvular endocardium is rare; and, in spite of the frequency and apparent suitability of aortic ulcers, no report of bacterial endarteritis upon simple atheroma has been found ...
متن کاملVasorelaxatory Effect of Vitis vinifera Extract on Rat Aorta
Reports have shown the antioxidant, hypotensive, hypolipidemic and vasodilatory effects of grape (Vitis vinifera L.) seed extract. We have recently shown the relaxatory effect of grape leaf extract on rat uterus and reduction of frog heart rate and contractility. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relaxant effect of Vitis vinifera leaf hydroalcoholic extract (VLHE) on rat thora...
متن کاملMediastinal mass caused by syphilitic aortitis.
A 47 year old man presented with hoarseness and chest pain found to be due to proliferative syphilitic aortitis. The case is unusual as the syphilitic aortitis caused a mediastinal mass without affecting the lumen of the aorta.
