Syphilitic aortitis

（重定向自Syphilitic aneurysm）

Syphilitic aortitis (SA) is inflammation of the aorta associated with the tertiary stage of syphilis infection. SA begins as inflammation of the outermost layer of the blood vessel, including the blood vessels that supply the aorta itself with blood, the vasa vasorum. As SA worsens, the vasa vasorum undergo hyperplastic thickening of their walls thereby restricting blood flow and causing ischemia of the outer two-thirds of the aortic wall. Starved for oxygen and nutrients, elastic fibers become patchy and smooth muscle cells die. If the disease progresses, syphilitic aortitis leads to an aortic aneurysm. Unlike atherosclerosis, which typically manifests in older people, syphilitic aortitis typically affects those under the age of 50. It has become rare in the developed world with the advent of penicillin treatments after World War II.
