The oral microbiota: new insight into intracranial aneurysms by Wentao Gong, Hairong Yu, Wei You, Zhen Chen, Yu Wang, Chao Liu, Youxiang Li, Sheng Guan

“…Recent evidence suggests a pivotal role of oral microbiota dysbiosis, particularly periodontal pathogens, in systemic inflammation that may contribute to IA development and rupture.Objective This review aims to critically evaluate the association between oral microbiota dysbiosis and the pathogenesis of IAs, with a focus on the molecular and immunological mechanisms by which oral pathogens influence vascular pathology.Methods We conducted a comprehensive analysis of the literature regarding the impact of oral microbial dysbiosis on IA pathophysiology, emphasizing the role of specific pathogenic species, such as Porphyromonas gingivalis. The review explores how these pathogens may mediate chronic inflammation through hematogenous spread, gut microbiome alterations, and neuroinflammatory processes, leading to vascular remodeling and cerebrovascular instability.Results The findings suggest that oral microbial dysbiosis, particularly the presence of pathogenic bacteria, is implicated in the systemic inflammatory response that exacerbates the structural integrity of the cerebrovascular wall. …”
