Mayo Clinic CTA of head and neck report : The distal cervical internal carotid arteries bilaterally have a irregular contour, resembling a “string of beads.” PRELIMINARY REPORT • R. Proximal CCA, distal CCA, bulb, proximal ICA, and ECA appear within normal limits. R. distal ICA displays accelerated flow velocity of 244 cm/sec PSV; 107 cm/sec EDV. • L. Proximal CCA, distal CCA, bulb, proximal ICA, and ECA appear within normal limits. L. distal ICA displays accelerated flow velocity of 166 cm/sec PSV; 83 cm/sec EDV. • No plaque visualized. Both vertebral’s have antegrade flow. TREATMENT • Surgery to open narrowed portion of the arteries. • Medications for hypertension. Mayo Clinic CONCLUSION • Complications of FMD include : • • • • • High blood pressure Chronic kidney failure Dissected artery Aneurysms Stroke Mayo Clinic REFERENCES • Fibromuscular dysplasia - MayoClinic.com.
