what is happening here?
aneurysm (balloon-like dilatation of the aorta)
what is this?
what layer of the vessel is damaged?
aortic dissection
media
what can be said about the picture on the left?
Cystic medial degeneration. A, Cross-section of aortic media from a patient with Marfan syndrome, showing marked elastin fragmentation and areas devoid of elastin that resemble cystic spaces (asterisks). B, Normal media for comparison, showing the regular layered pattern of elastic tissue. In both A and B, elastin is stained black.
what can be said about both pictures? A and B
A, An opened aorta with a proximal dissection originating from a small, oblique intimal tear (identified by the probe) associated with an intramural hematoma. Note that the intimal tear occurred in a region largely free of atherosclerotic plaque
B, Histologic preparation showing the dissection and intramural hematoma (asterisk). Aortic elastic layers are black and blood is red in this section, stained with the Movat stain.
