Angiolathyrism-Angio = Blood vessel, Lathyrism = disease due to Lathyrus Sativus. It is commonly associated with osteolathyrism and neurolathyrism and is caused by over consumption of Lathyrus sativus, also known as grasspea.[1] The main chemical responsible is β-Aminopropionitrile, which prevents collagen cross-linking, thus making the blood vessel, especially the tunica media, weak. This can result in Cystic medial necrosis or a picture similar to Marfan syndrome. The damaged vessels are at an increased risk of dissection.
