aortitis
Aortitis is the inflammation of the aortic wall. The disorder is potentially life-threatening and rare. It is reported that there are only 1-3 new cases of aortitis per year per million people in the United States and Europe.〔 Aortitis is most common in people 10 to 40 years of age.〔
==Causes==
This inflammation has a number of possible causes, including trauma, viral or bacterial infections (notably, syphilis), and certain immune disorders and connective tissue diseases.
Aortitis is most commonly seen in patients with syphilis, autoimmune vasculitis, giant cell arteritis, Takayasu's arteritis and rheumatoid arthritis.〔(Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary. 19th ed. Philadelphia: F.A. Davis, 2001. )〕 IgG4-related disease is a more recently identified cause of aortitis and periaortitis.
There is a wide range of symptoms that are dependent on the location of the aortic inflammation or associated disorder. A few symptoms recognized in patients are fever, chills, muscle pains, and malaise (general discomfort).〔 In addition, hypertension (high blood pressure) may occur. Hypertension happens when the renal artery narrows and elasticity of the aorta and branches decrease.〔(Link text ), American Heart Association.〕
