AB  - Abnormal  dilatation  of  the  thoracic  or  abdominal  aorta;  in  ascending  aorta  most  commonly  secondary  to  medial  degeneration  (e.g.,  familial,  Marfan’s  syndrome,  Loeys-Dietz  syndrome,  Ehlers-Danlos  syndrome  type  IV,  bicuspid  aortic  valve);  aneurysms  of  descending  thoracic  and  abdominal  aorta  are  primarily  atherosclerotic.  Rare  causes  of  aneurysms  are  infections  (syphilis,  tuberculosis,  mycotic),  vasculitis  (e.g.,  Takayasu’s  arteritis,  giant  cell  arteritis),  and  spondyloarthropathies  (e.g.,  rheumatoid  aortitis).
