The evaluation of the sense of hearing in patients with carotid artery stenosis within the extracranial segments
The objective of the study was to assess the effect of carotid and vertebral artery stenosis on the function of the hearing and equilibrium organ on the basis of diagnostic audiological examinations including pure-tone threshold audiometry, impedance audiometry, otoacoustic emission tests and brainstem auditory evoked potential tests. The study was conducted in 63 patients (32 males, 31 females) aged 45 –75 years, presenting with carotid and vertebral artery stenosis and treated at the Vascular Surgery Clinic of the University Clinical Hospital in Wrocław. Patients were stratified into two subgroups according to their a...

45. Patient presenting with transient phosphenes and headache: A case of fibromuscular dysplasia
Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD), is a nonatherosclerotic, noninflammatory vascular disease commonly affecting the renal, extracranial carotid and vertebral arteries (VA). Etiology remains unknown. Clinical presentation is determined by distribution of arteries affected. Carotid artery involvement is associated with headache, TIA, stroke, pulsatile tinnitus, or may be asymptomatic. Treatment is being recommended in symptomatic cases. A 49-year-old Caucasian woman, was presented to our emergency department for transient phosphenes in right eye, followed by front-temporal headache. Cranial CT was normal, cervical duplex ultraso...
