Abstract

Spontaneous isolated superior mesenteric artery dissection (SISMAD) is a rare disease that occurs sporadically. In this report, we describe 2 cases of SISMAD involving an uncle and his nephew. Genetic studies revealed the presence of heterogeneity of a chromosome locus at 5q13-14 in 3 family members (the 2 patients and the nephew's mother), an area previously found to be linked to familial ascending aortic aneurysms and dissections.

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.

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.
