What is another word for elastoid degeneration?
Pronunciation: [ɪlˈastɔ͡ɪd dɪd͡ʒˌɛnəɹˈe͡ɪʃən] (IPA) 
Elastoid degeneration is a medical condition characterized by the abnormal degradation of a specific type of tissue known as elastin. This condition, typically observed in blood vessels, causes them to lose their elasticity and become less resilient over time. Synonymous terms often used to describe elastoid degeneration include elastorrhexis, elastolysis, and elastinolysis. Although these terms essentially convey the same degenerative process, they may be employed to emphasize different aspects of the condition. Elastoid degeneration or any of its synonyms can lead to various health issues, including weakened blood vessels, increased risk of aneurysms, and compromised tissue functionality. Timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment can help manage this condition effectively.
