Abstract:
Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a rare, segmental nonatheromatous angiopathy of unknown etiology affecting small to medium-sized arteries. The most common angiographic pattern is the classic string-of-beads appearance. But the tubular stenosis type of the FMD is a rare finding and has not been reported previously. We report a case who presented with recurrent intracerebral hemorrhages, whose angiographic features were long tubular stenosis type of FMD affecting the both internal carotid arteries associated with terminal carotid occlusions.
