Fibromuscular dysplasia as a cause of stroke in a 9-year-old girl.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fibromuscular dysplasia is a rare, idiopathic and nonatheromatous disease. It is rarely encountered as a cause of stroke in children. We report a nine-year-old girl with stroke in whom extensive fibromuscular dysplasia of intracranial vessels was established. She also had familial combined hyperlipidemia as an additional risk factor. This case suggests that additional risk factors like hyperlipidemia in cases with fibromuscular dystrophy may facilitate the occurrence of stroke at early ages.

متن کاملCerebellar infarction from fibromuscular dysplasia and dissecting aneurysm of the vertebral artery. Report of a child.
Infarction in the vertebrobasilar system presenting as a posterior fossa mass lesion is extremely rare in children.
