  Severe stenosis can cause pain in the area of the body that is supplied by the affected artery. [healthcommunities.com]

  Any pain or clinical sign related to FMD typically comes from the organ that is supplied by that artery. For example, FMD in the renal arteries may cause high blood pressure. FMD in the carotid arteries may cause headaches or pulsatile tinnitus. [raredr.com]

  Doppler ultrasound of the carotid arteries showed intraluminal thrombosis partially occluding the flow of blood at the level of the left common carotid bulb. [article.sapub.org]

  Prevention of thrombosis of affected arteries may be taken through administration of an antiplatelet medication such as aspirin. Percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty (PTRA) remains the gold standard for renal-artery FMD. [en.wikipedia.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]

  A TIA is a warning sign that you may develop a stroke. If your symptoms last longer than 24 hours, you may have experienced a stroke. [vascularpavilion.com]

  These actions might prevent a future stroke. Although a mini-stroke may warn of a stroke, it doesn’t predict when a stroke will happen. A stroke may occur days, weeks, or even months after a mini-stroke. [surgery.ucsf.edu]

  TIA symptoms can last for a few minutes or as long as an hour and include: Sudden weakness, numbness or tingling on one side of the face or body, or in a single limb Difficulty speaking or slurred speech Change in vision, such as losing all or partial [inovaheart.org]

  I had slurred speech and left side weakness. This is unusual unless your speech is on the right side of your brain, which only 10 percent of the population has. [fmdchat.blogspot.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]
