Everyone thinks the Black Death was caused by bubonic plague. But they could be wrong â and we need to find the real culprit before it strikes again. THE DISEASE that spread like wildfire through Europe between 1347 and 1351 is still the most violent epidemic in recorded history.
Introduction. Intracavernous aneurysms of the carotid artery (ICAs) can produce symptoms through mass effect of the aneurysm on adjacent structures or through rupture, which leads to carotid cavernous fistula or occasionally to subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) if the aneurysm extends through the dura.n one patient, one aneurysm was treated by occlusion of the parent vessel and the other by embolization with coils. In the fifth patient, both aneurysms were treated by balloon occlusion.
By definition, an aneurysm is a localized or diffuse dilation of an artery with a diameter at least 50% greater than the normal size of the artery. Most aortic aneurysms (AAs) occur in the abdominal aorta; these are termed abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs).he average size for an infrarenal aorta is 2 cm; therefore, AAAs are usually defined by diameters greater than 3 cm. The normal size for the thoracic and thoracoabdominal aorta is larger than that of the infrarenal aorta, and aneurysmal degeneration in these areas is defined accordingly.
