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

“…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. Chronic inflammatory states induced by oral pathogens contribute to extracellular matrix degradation, impaired vascular remodeling, and an increased susceptibility to IA rupture.Conclusions The findings highlight the importance of maintaining oral microbiota homeostasis as a potential therapeutic target for preventing IAs. …”
