Giant cell aortitis is a rare cause of ascending aortic aneurysm disease. Patients presenting with aneurysms caused by giant cell aortitis are at high risk of devastating complications.
A 35-year-old female with an ascending aortic aneurysm, underwent an aortic root and ascending aorta replacement and subsequently was found to have giant cell aortitis on histopathology.
This case illustrates a very rare cause for aortopathy in a young healthy patient, who may have ruptured or dissected, if not for timely operative intervention.
巨细胞性主动脉炎是升主动脉瘤疾病的罕见病因。因巨细胞性主动脉炎导致动脉瘤的患者发生严重并发症的风险很高。
一名35岁患有升主动脉瘤的女性接受了主动脉根部和升主动脉置换术,随后经组织病理学检查发现患有巨细胞性主动脉炎。
该病例说明了一名年轻健康患者发生主动脉病变的非常罕见的病因,若不及时进行手术干预,该患者可能已发生破裂或夹层。
