title: [Polyaneurysmal dystrophy].
abstract: Polyaneurysmal dystrophy (PAD) is a strange disease. It is also an uncommon disease if only strict, arteriographic and pathological criteria, are considered. True varicose disease of the arteries, this disease develops slowly and its clinical manifestations, often severe, only occur in patients over 50. The frequent association with dolichomega arteries (DMA), especially at the aorto-iliac level, is certainly not accidental. A continuous dystrophy of the media would result in the occurrence of DAM; a segmental dystrophy these diseases under a single entity: ectatic mediadystrophy. Our small personal series of 9 cases is presented to analyse the course of this disease and specify its treatment.
