Case series highlights the unique identification of isolated aortitis in adults, suggesting underlying mechanisms.
In some patients, ascending aortic aneurysms or dissections produce aortitis, not associated with clinical or investigational evidence of infective or non-infective vasculitis or systemic diseases. This type of aortitis is termed clinically isolated aortitis, which is often a surprise finding in surgical pathological material. We report a series of five such cases in patients in their fifth decade of life with an almost equal sex distribution.
