Thoracic aortic aneurysm?
DefinitionA thoracic aortic aneurysm is a widening (bulging) of part of the wall of the aorta, the body's largest artery.Alternative NamesAortic aneurysm - thoracic; Syphilitic aneurysm; Aneurysm - thoracic aorticCauses, incidence, and risk factorsThoracic aneurysms most often occur in the descending thoracic aorta. Others may appear in the ascending aorta or the aortic arch.The most common cause of a thoracic aortic aneurysm is hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis).Other risk factors include:Connective tissue disorders such as Marfan syndromeHaving high blood pressure for a long timePrevious dissection of the aortaSyphilisTrauma such as falls or motor vehicle accidentsSymptomsMost patients have no symptoms until the aneurysm begins to leak or expand. Chest or back pain may mean sudden widening or leakage of the aneurysm.Signs and testsThe physical examination is often normal. Most nonleaking thoracic aortic aneurysms are detected by tests -- usually a chest x-ray or a chest CT scan -- run for other reasons. A chest x-ray and chest CT scan show if the aorta is enlarged. A chest CT scan shows the size of the aorta and the exact location of the aneurysm.An aortogram (a special set of x-ray images made when dye is injected into the aorta) can identify the aneurysm and any branches of the aorta that may be involved.TreatmentThe treatment depends on the location of the aneurysm.For patients with aneurysms of the ascending aorta or aortic arch, surgery to replace the aorta is recommended if the aneurysm is larger than 5 - 6 centimeters. The aorta is replaced with a fabric substitute.This is major surgery that requires a heart-lung machine. If the aortic arch is involved, a specialized technique called "circulatory arrest" may be necessary. This involves a period without blood circulation while the patient is on life support.There are two options for patients with aneurysms of the descending thoracic aorta. If the aneurysm is larger than 6 centimeters, major surgery is done to replace the aorta with a fabric substitute.Endovascular stenting is a less invasive option. A stent is a tiny metal or plastic tube that is used to hold an artery open. Stents can be placed into the body without cutting the chest.Instead, tiny, hollow tubes called catheters are inserted into the groin area. The stent is passed through the catheter and into the area of the aneurysm. Not all patients with descending thoracic aneurysms are candidates for stenting, however.Expectations (prognosis)The long-term prognosis for patients with thoracic aortic aneurysm is determined by other medical problems such as heart disease and diabetes, which may have caused or contributed to the condition.ComplicationsSerious complications after aortic surgery can include:BleedingGraft infectionHeart attackIrregular heartbeatKidney damageParalysisStrokeDeath soon after the operation occurs in 5 - 10% of patients.Complications after aneurysm stenting include damage to the leg, which may require another operation.Calling your health care providerTell your doctor if you have:A family history of connective tissue disordersChest or back discomfortPreventionTo prevent atherosclerosis:Control your blood pressure and blood lipid levels.Do not smoke.Exercise regularly.ReferencesSafi HJ, Estrera AL, Miller CC 3rd, Azizzadeh A, Porat EE.

What is disc bulg at L4 L5 and L5 S1?
Bulging discs are fairly common in both young adults and older people. They are not cause for panic. In fact, abnormalities that show up on MRIs, such as bulging or protruding discs, are seen at high rates in patients both with and without back pain. Most likely, some discs begin to bulge as a part of both the aging process, and the degeneration process of the intervertebral disc. A bulging disc is not necessarily a sign that anything serious is happening to your spine. A bulging disc becomes important when it bulges enough to cause narrowing of the spinal canal. If there are bone spurs present on the facet joints behind the bulging disc, the combination may cause narrowing of the spinal canal in that area. This is sometimes referred to as segmental spinal stenosis. The human spine is made up of 26 bones; grouped as follows: * 7 Cervical Vertebrae - in the neck * 12 Thoracic Vertebrae - that articulate 12 pairs of ribs * 5 Lumbar Vertebrae - lower back * Sacrum - Fusion 5 of Sacral Vertebrae of lower back * Coccyx - 'tailbone' which is a fusion of 4 Coccygeal Vertebrae In between these vertebrae we have our discs (shock absorbers)
