Intracranial Fibromuscular Dysplasia in a Middle-Aged Woman with Recurrent Ischemic Stroke (P4.388)
Conclusions: FMD is a rare disease and has very rarely been described in the intracranial arteries. This case illustrates the natural history and progression of FMD in this patient and elucidates the limited treatment options for preventing disease progression and secondary complications. FMD most predominantly affects younger to middle-aged females and if the disease process goes unrecognized it can have devastating consequences. It is important to continue research endeavors into the genetic and biologic determinants of FMD in order to develop better prevention and therapeutic strategies for this condition.Disclosure: Dr...

Dissection extending from extra- to intracranial arteries: A case report of progressive ischemic stroke
We reported a rare case of 33-year-old patient with progressive ischemic stroke due to dissection from an intimal tear in the right proximal internal carotid artery to distal middle cerebral artery. Diagnoses: 3D fat-saturated T1 VISTA imaging, owing to its comprehensive neck and head coverage, high spatial resolution, enables the reader to have several sections with good contrast covering the dissected arterial segment, even in the rare dissection involving extra- and intra-cranial arteries referred in this article. Interventions: Clopidogrel 75mg daily was prescribed, also the patient was given rehabilitation training....
