Abstract

Inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysms are associated with atherosclerosis, which are characterized by specific clinical manifestation. We treated two patients with unilateral solitary iliac artery aneurysms with perianeurysmal fibrosis which compressed the ureter resulting in ipsilateral hydronephrosis. After the iliac artery aneurysm was repaired with a prosthetic graft, the hydronephrosis resolved. Microscopically, there was clear evidence of atherosclerosis in one case. There was a characteristic inflammatory reaction around the adventitia in both aneurysms. Localized iliac perianeurysmal fibrosis has not been particularly described. The clinicopathologic similarities between these cases and inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysms suggest the same pathogenesis.

Aneurysm

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