Path Review Vascular Pathology

Studying pathology as i mentioned earlier is easy,its all about picking up the key points,one of my friends stated which are the points to be left out from Usml as it is vast,so heres doing a review on Vascular pathology the diseases and key points to remember,if you think there are few points to be added ,please do so in your comments.I would very much appreciate your feed back,lets make it both ways .
Vascular pathology
1.Polyarteritis nodosa affects any organ kidney ,git tract mucle except LUNGS this is akey point,hep b antigen is positive in most cases.
2.Wegeners granulomatosis is Bilateral pneumonitis and Renal cresenteric glomerulonephritis
3.Temporal arteritis -Giant cell arteritis-headache is a common clinical feature,visual dusturbances- lead to blindness.Elevated ESR.
4.Takayasu areteritis,affects major arteries-Arch of aorta-fibrosis.
5.Buergers disease young males-pain,thrombophlebitis,Raynauds phenomenona ,ulceration and gangrene
5.Think kawasaki think lymp nodes it affects oral mucosa ,erythema-submandibular lymph nodes, coranary artery is commonly involved
There is always a confusion between raynauds disease and raynauds phenomenon,the disease is seen young emotional women living in cold climates ,no underlying pathology ,cyanosis of
fingers and toes is the clinical feature.
Raynauds phenomenon has a underlying pathology like scleroderma,buergers .
6.Arteriosclerosis,occurs in diabetes and hypertension
7.Areteriosclerosis - hyaline or hyperplastic smooth muscle arteriosclerosis
Artherosclerosis-lipid deposition ,go through all the causes both major and minor
8.Hypertension essential and secondary leads to Concentric left ventricular hypertrophy, Congestive heart failure, Accelerated atherosclerosis, Myocardial infarction.
Aneurysm formation, rupture, and dissection, Intracerebral hemorrhage,
Chronic renal failure.IKidneys in hyprtension - pettechial heamorrhages causing flea bitten appearance.
9.Anerysms-Dilation of the vessel wall these are complications of thrombosis.
Rememeber aortic disecting anerysm which occurs in marfans syndrome,syphilitic anerysm--involves ascending aorta.Berrys anerysm -circle of willis,subarahnoid heammorhage,with a complaint of severe headache.

Finally finish the chapter with 10.Venous diseases-Deep vein thrombosis is very important detected by doppler-cause of pulmonary embolism.
Varicose veins causing edema, thrombosis,ulceration=eosophageal varices
Finishing off with 11.vascular neoplams,heamangiomas,kapsis sarcomas-spindle cell epithelial cell proliferation very imporatnt asssociated with organ tranplants,african forms lymph node spread
Angiosarcomas -liver angiosarcoma associated with vinyl chloride and arsenic poisoning.
