Cerebral disseminated coagulation. An encephalitis-like syndrome in a boy with dissecting aortic aneurysm

Journal of Neurology
L HensR van den Bergh

Abstract

A boy was suspected of having meningoencephalitis probably of viral origin, although all microbiological, including virological, tests were negative. Postmortem examination revealed a dissecting aortic aneurysm and disseminated intravascular coagulation involving the central nervous system exclusively. The clinical evolution, the age of the patient, and the association of DAA with this cerebral disseminated coagulation is very unusual.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.
