Seven patients with fibromuscular dysplasia of the carotid arteries are described. Three were asymptomatic and four had ischemic troubles. Angiographically, 3 had a fibromuscular dysplasia of type 1 and 4 of type 2; one patient also had an associated aneurysm of the cervical internal carotid artery. The neurological troubles and their pathogenesis, the angiographic findings and the differential diagnosis of this angiopathy are briefly discussed; the surgical procedures and their risks are also analyzed.

Abstract
Seven patients with fibromuscular dysplasia of the carotid arteries are described. Three were asymptomatic and four had ischemic troubles. Angiographically, 3 had a fibromuscular dysplasia of type 1 and 4 of type 2; one patient also had an associated aneurysm of the cervical internal carotid artery. The neurological troubles and their pathogenesis, the angiographic findings and the differential diagnosis of this angiopathy are briefly discussed; the surgical procedures and their risks are also analyzed.File in questo prodotto:
