Summary[edit]

Summary
Description Intermediate magnification micrograph of cystic medial degeneration, abbreviated CMD. It is also known as cystic medial necrosis. Aortic repair. Movat stain.

In pathology, there is no truth in names; cystic medial necrosis may lack necrosis and not be cystic. The characteristic features are:

Basophilic ground substance in the media (seen on Movat's stain). Disruption of the elastic lamina (seen with an elastic stain). +/-Focal necrosis. Related images
