displasia (FMD) is an non-inflamatory, non-atherosclerotic angiopathy which
usually has a higher prevalence among middle-aged women.  It can </span> <span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;"> affect all layers of both small- and medium-calibre arteries with </span> <span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">segmentary involvement </span> <span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">. </span> <span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;"> </span> <span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">Fibromuscular displasia most frequently affects the
renal, carotid and vertebral arteries, but it can theoretically affect any

involves renal arteries or with ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack
when the disease affects the carotid or vertebral arteries. Most of the cases
are asymptomatic and may be diagnosed incidentally. Final diagnosis is made
clinically and also by the classical appearance of “string of beads” on digital
subtraction angiography. L </span> <span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">ess
common imaging findings other than this classical appearance include vascular
loops, fusiform vascular ectasia, dissection, aneurysm and subarachnoid
haemorrhage. Awareness of these less common imaging findings will help in the
diagnosis of fibromuscular displasia. </span> <span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;"> Internal carotid artery dissection in the young people secondary to
fibromuscular displasia is a rare cause of transient ischemic attack. In this
case report, we present a young woman with ischemic symptoms secondary to
fibromuscular displasia and discuss an overview to anticoagulant treatment. </span> <br /> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Kırıkkale Üniversitesi}
