The most accurate diagnosis comes from combining clinical presentation and angiographic imaging. [en.wikipedia.org]

By comparison, this patient did not present with an active herpetic infection, and no evidence was present of an inflammatory response. [ispub.com]

There are less than 15 histologically confirmed cases of intimal FMD presenting with ischemic stroke. [article.sapub.org]

Less commonly in intimal and adventitial types, there is focal concentric, long-segment tubular stenosis or diverticular outpouching present (see carotid intimal fibromuscular dysplasia ). [radiopaedia.org]

• Carotid Bruit

  Causes of Amaurosis Fugax The presence of a bruit, and the unilateral nature and duration of the visual loss, are indicative of an embolic etiology from a carotid stenosis, most likely from bifurcation disease. [thoracickey.com]

  Examination may reveal neurological deficits, Horner's syndrome (half of cases), hemiparesis, carotid bruit. [patient.info]

  No audible carotid bruit was heard. However, a grade 2/6 systolic murmur was prominent at the left costal margin. Cranial nerves II through XII were intact bilaterally. [ispub.com]

Further workup was done to confirm the diagnosis of FMD, and magnetic resonance angiography of the carotid arteries revealed a “string of beads” appearance in the right internal carotid artery, which confirmed the diagnosis of FMD. [cureus.com]

See Workup for more detail. Management Partly because of the unknown etiology of FMD, no curative therapy exists. Fortunately, FMD is often benign when asymptomatic, and medical treatment is not indicated. [emedicine.medscape.com]

In another series of 70 patients undergoing treatment for FMD of the cerebral circulation, the mean age at presentation was 62 years. 4 Treatment options for FMD of the renal arteries include medical therapy alone or revascularization by either percutaneous [vasculardiseasemanagement.com]

Prognosis [ edit ] Prognosis and outcome research is scant. In some cases if not managed properly FMD-related aneurysms can occur causing bleeding into the brain, resulting in stroke, permanent nerve damage, or death. [en.wikipedia.org]

Because the overall long-term prognosis of fibro muscular dysplasia of the cervico-cephalic arteries is quite good and this patient does not present any other downstream adverse vascular events, conservative treatment with periodical follow-up was given [omicsonline.org]
