Among the most dangerous diseases of the cardiovascular system, medial necrosis of the Aorta is often encountered. Even if the disease is detected at the initial stages of its progression, in most cases doctors cannot guarantee the patient’s complete survival.
The disease develops gradually against the background of an increase in systemic disorders that a person does not notice for a long time. The slow spread of the pathological process leads to untimely consultation with a doctor or even promotes self-medication.
Elderly people and patients with diabetes are more susceptible to Aortic necrosis, but the disease is also diagnosed at a younger age.
What kind of dangerous pathology is this? What causes the disease and how is it treated? What signs should promptly consult a doctor?

Disease concept
Aortic aneurysm is one of the types of pathological changes in the human vascular system. This disease is an enlargement of the Aorta, which occurs due to rupture of its muscular walls. Pathology is more often diagnosed in people over 50 years of age, which indicates severe
Medionecrosis is a disease that occurs when the middle layer of artery walls, the fibromuscular membrane, is damaged. As the infection progresses, oxygen starvation occurs in the fibers of the inner membrane and discirculatory encephalopathy develops; inflammatory changes in the cerebral cortex may develop. Hemorrhage into the brain substance is possible, caused by the separation and movement of blood clots into the ventricular cavity, the separation of atherosclerotic plaques, as well as the penetration of the parenchyma by the hematoma. The middle layer of the artery undergoes destruction, and the artery becomes dilated and swollen; the lumen of the artery narrows in diameter, the connective tissue layers of the walls become thinner. In this disease, one should distinguish between the initial stage of the disease (swelling of the fibromuscular layer), the initial chronic stage (persistent expansion of the wall, initial degeneration of the arterial wall tissue) and the advanced stage with pronounced sclerotic changes in the aortic wall. There are: * Classic manifestations of aortic medianecrosis with signs of mesenchymal inflammation (monosymptomatic form). * Non-axial changes in the aorta (
