Abstract

Thoracic aortic aneurysms are silent yet deadly clinical entities which may elude detection until an acutely life-threatening aortic dissection or rupture occurs. Approximately 20% of patients with thoracic aortic aneurysms or dissection have a positive family history, indicating a strong genetic component to the aetiology. Genetic screening in such hereditary thoracic aortic disease (HTAD) may thus be beneficial in detecting causative genetic mutations in affected patients, identifying asymptomatic family members who may be at risk, and in guiding the optimal timing of preventative surgery in those with confirmed genetic aortopathy. Genetic screening can facilitate personalised aortic care tailored to an individual’s specific genetic abnormality, with the aim of mitigating the significant morbidity burden and premature mortality associated with HTAD. This review examines the rationale for genetic screening in HTAD, its potential applications, current limitations and potential future directions.

CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
