Mönckeberg sclerosis is a disease of unknown etiology, characterized by dystrophic calcification within the arterial tunica media of the lower extremities leading to reduced arterial compliance. Medial calcinosis does not obstruct the lumina of the arteries, and therefore does not lead to symptoms or signs of limb or organ ischemia. Mönckeberg sclerosis most commonly occurs in aged and diabetic...

In a series of 400 consecutive patients with arteriosclerosis seen in two peripheral vascular clinics, we confirm the previously reported association with peptic ulcer. The incidence was almost 25% both in patients with occlusive disease (300) and with aneurysm (100). The accepted expectation of peptic ulcer in the same age-group is 6 or 7% (Jones, Kirk & Bloor, 1970; McManus, 1966). Patients w...

Homocystinuria is an inherited disease of homocysteine metabolism most commonly caused by deficiency of the pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzyme, cystathionine synthase.

In this article we present an 80 year old female patient with an unruptured giant aneurysm of the basilar artery presenting with posterior circulation ischemic symptoms. Angiography and CT revealed giant basilar aneurysmal dilatation with severe and wide intracranial arteriosclerosis. We described the uniqueness of this case. Giant basilar aneurysm is associated with various complications parti...
