Aneurysm and dissection of carotid artery - what does this mean

An aneurysm and dissection of the carotid artery is a condition where the wall of the artery weakens and bulges out, leading to a tear in the wall of the artery. this tear can lead to a separation of the layers of the artery wall, resulting in a dissection of the carotid artery. this can cause a blockage of the artery, leading to a stroke and other serious complications.

What happens during the disease - aneurysm and dissection of carotid artery

The pathogenesis of aneurysm and dissection of the carotid artery is multi-factorial and can be caused by a variety of underlying medical conditions such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, trauma, and genetic predisposition. it is believed that the combination of these factors leads to weakening of the arterial wall, resulting in the formation of an aneurysm. this aneurysm can then rupture or dissect, leading to the formation of a false lumen and blood flow disruption, which can lead to ischemia and stroke.
