Ectasia of the abdominal aorta is when the aorta (the large artery in the body that brings fresh blood from the heart to the rest of the body) in the abdomen (area of the body below the chest and above the waist and holds body organs like the stomach and bowels) is dilated or enlarged. Mild ectasia is a reference term to describe how big the dilation of the aorta in the abdomen is.
If its dilated up to 3 cm, seems to be a precursor condition to distended (swollen) condition which is a precursor to a ruptured aorta Usually occurs in the descending (or abdominal) aorta.
Mild aortic ectasia is a mild enlargement of the aorta. This enlargement is under 1.5 times the normal aortic size, however it can be very serious. If it is caught in time, however, surgical repair is very effective.
Dural ectasia can be distinguished from other causes of back pain on an MRI. Mild cases are usually not treated. Medication or spinal shunting to remove some of the spinal fluid are used to treat severe cases.
From GP notebook this can be an insignificant radiographic finding in older people.
