Cephalocervical or intracranial fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) can be
identified by its characteristic angiographic appearance. Most of these
lesions occur adjacent to the C1-2 interspace, characteristically sparing
the origins and proximal segments of the major extracranial vessels.
Approximately 65% of our patients had bilateral involvement of the cervical
internal carotid arteries. Thirty percent were associated with one or more
intracranial aneurysms. The vertebral arteries were involved in 10% of the
cases. Twenty-four of 25 cases were associated with symptoms of either
subarachnoid hemorrhage or focal cerebral ischemia.
