Carotid Artery Aneurysm in HIV: A Review of Case Reports in Literature
2020, Annals of Vascular SurgeryCitation Excerpt :As for extracranial aneurysms in HIV-positive patients, a different pathogenesis has been proposed, which may involve vasculitis of the vasa vasora, absent in the intracranial arteries.9 Where available, histologic findings were in line with previous reports, and with what has been previously described for aortic aneurysms7 showing the presence of vascular and perivascular acute inflammation, inflammatory cells (lymphocytes, plasma cells, eosinophils, multinucleated giant cells, histiocytosis), focal elastic lamina calcification, rarefaction or rupture; intimal thickening or medial fibrosis12,13,15; luminal thrombosis with neutrophil infiltration of thrombus and concentric intimal fibrosis was reported in an autoptic case of bilateral carotid artery aneurysms symptomatic for left ischemic lesion.9 These features overlapped active tuberculosis vascular findings in 3 cases,8 confirming that aneurysm features may be a result of the additional action of different etiological agents that must be suspected even in the presence of a negative blood culture.
