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]

• Mural Thrombus

  Carotid Dopplers were negative for bifurcation plaque, and a transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) did not demonstrate valve vegetations or mural thrombus. [thoracickey.com]

• ST Elevation

  An electrocardiogram (EKG) obtained at an outlying facility showed ST elevations in lead II, aVF, V5 and V6 consistent with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) (Figure 1 ). [cureus.com]

• T Wave Inversion

  An EKG revealed ST elevations in lead I, aVL, V5-V6, ST depressions in V1-V3, and T-wave inversion over V2-V5 (Figure 4 ). The troponin I level increased to 40 ng/ml (normal 0.0 to 0.04 ng/ml). [cureus.com]
