Vascular Function in Fibromuscular Dysplasia
Background: There have been no studies to date on the pathophysiologic mechanisms of how fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) affects vascular function. Due to the perturbations in the blood vessel wall and the propensity for stenosis, dissection, and aneurysms seen in arteries with FMD, subjects with FMD may have impairment in endothelial function and abnormalities in arterial compliance. Methods: Tw...
متن کاملFibromuscular dysplasia with multiple visceral artery involvement.
A 19-year-old female presented with episodic abdominal pain not related to food intake. She had occasional vomiting but had no gastrointestinal bleed. Routine ultrasound examination picked up aneurysm of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). Computed tomography angiogram showed stenosis of the origin of the SMA and multiple aneurysms involving the proximal SMA. A large collateral artery also sh...
متن کاملCoexistence of fibromuscular dysplasia and cystic medial necrosis in a patient with Marfan's syndrome and bilateral carotid artery dissections.
BACKGROUND A primary arteriopathy is suspected in most patients with spontaneous dissections of the carotid artery, although the nature of this arteriopathy usually remains elusive. Angiographic changes of fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD), however, are found in 10% to 20% of patients with carotid dissections. CASE DESCRIPTION A 26-year-old woman with Marfan's syndrome presented with bilateral am...
متن کاملFibromuscular dysplasia of cervico-cephalic arteries with multiple dissections and a carotid-cavernous fistula. A pathological study.
A rare case of widespread fibromuscular dysplasia (F.M.D.) is reported, involving the cervico-cephalic arteries associated with multiple dissections, saccular aneurysms and a carotid-cavernous fistula. A detailed post-mortem examination revealed FMD involvement of the intracranial vessels, not demonstrated by arteriography.
متن کاملMultiple Spontaneous Intracranial-Extracranial Arterial Dissections in a Patient with Osteogenesis Imperfecta
A 40-year-old male with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) was admitted to the hospital with an acute right monoparesis. Diffusion-weighted MRI showed infarction in the territory of the left anterior cerebral artery (ACA) and in the left posterior cerebral artery (PCA). In his vascular imaging, occlusion of the left vertebral artery (VA) starting from V2 segment was consistent with dissection and pse...
