Abstract

Human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) has been found to be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, and the development of arterial aneurysms in particular, intracranial aneurysms. In this review, we will review the reported HIV-associated extracranial aneurysms (HECAA) and their possible association with HIV/AIDS. We will discuss the proposed pathogenetic pathways leading to arterial aneurysms. HECAA, a subset of HIV/AIDS-associated arterial aneurysm (HAA), is more commonly seen in the adult population and in those with lower CD4+ T-cell counts and higher HIV viral loads. There also appears to be an advantage to early diagnosis of HECAA. There are viable treatment options available, as 61.4% of patients with HECAA underwent a corrective procedure. Furthermore, the mortality rate of 1.75% in HECAA was much lower when compared to HICAA.
