Carotid Space – Vitamin C&D

HIDE

0:01

Well, you know,

0:01

it wouldn't be a Dave Yousem talk if I didn't

0:04

use my Mnemonic of vitamin C and D.

0:07

I should say this is not my Mnemonic,

0:08

it was a mnemonic that was provided to me by Stan

0:11

Siegelman when I was a resident way back from 1984

0:15

to 1988 when he was the program director of the

0:18

radiology department at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

0:22

So vitamin C and D refers to the Mnemonic,

0:25

which includes the following:

0:26

and I'll say it quickly: vascular, infectious,

0:29

traumatic, acquired, metabolic, idiopathic,

0:30

neoplastic in general, and drug-related disease.

0:34

And you can use this Mnemonic whether it's

0:36

interstitial lung disease or whether it's

0:39

lesions in the kindle. For our purposes,

0:42

we're going to use it for the carotid space.

0:44

And I will be combining some of these categories.

0:48

So we're going to be talking initially

0:49

about vascular disease,

0:51

but I will combine it with the congenital lesions,

0:55

which include Marfan syndrome

0:58

and Loeys-Dietz syndrome.

1:00

Loeys-Dietz syndrome is a syndrome that

1:02

is very similar to Marfan's syndrome.

1:05

And we see a lot of cases of it at Johns Hopkins

1:09

Hospital because Hal Dietz, for whom this was named,

1:13

is a faculty member at Johns Hopkins,

1:16

and he was the one who described the differences

1:19

between Marfan syndrome and Loeys-Dietz syndrome.

1:22

Loeys is a neurologist who is from Belgium,

1:28

and he worked with Hal Dietz at Johns Hopkins

1:30

Hospital. So when we talk about vascular pathology,

1:33

we'll be talking about these

1:35

two different categories:

1:36

the vascular as well as the congenital category.

1:40

I'd like to start with these vascular pathologies,

1:43

which include fibromuscular dysplasia, Takayasu's,

1:47

arteritis, Marfan syndrome,

1:49

and Loeys-Dietz syndrome.
