Overview
Two of the most common causes of thoracic aorta aneurysm are marfan's syndrome and atherosclerosis. In some centers, a prior history of dissection with aneurysmal dilation is the most common cause of surgical repair.

Causes Based Upon Inherited versus Sporadic versus Syndromic Basis
Sporadic Causes
- Ankylosing spondylitis
- Atherosclerosis
- Bacterial infection, often following valvular endocarditis
- Behcet's disease
- Giant cell arteritis
- Previous injury to the aorta such as an aortic dissection
- Syphilis
