The pathogenesis of aortic aneurysms remains unclear. There is epidemiologic and histologic evidence showing significant differences in aneurysms of the thoracic and abdominal aorta. Studies suggest that abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) may represent a local manifestation of a systemic dilating diathesis. It is not known whether thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA) also have a systemic etiology. The evidence for a systemic dilating diathesis in AAA disease is reviewed and supplemented with an original morphologic study based on computed tomography (CT) comparing nonaneurysmal controls with patients with AAAs and TAAs.
