Thrombolytic Stroke Treatment of a 12-Year-Old Girl with Intracranial Fibromuscular Dysplasia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fibromuscular dysplasia, predominantly found in adult women, is a rare disease of small and middle-sized arteries of the kidney and brain. We present a case of a 12-year-old girl with acute ischemic stroke, due to fibromuscular dysplasia of the distal internal carotid artery and the proximal middle cerebral artery, which was successfully treated with t-PA.

Fibromuscular dysplasia as a cause of stroke in a 9-year-old girl.
Fibromuscular dysplasia is a rare, idiopathic and nonatheromatous disease. It is rarely encountered as a cause of stroke in children. We report a nine-year-old girl with stroke in whom extensive fibromuscular dysplasia of intracranial vessels was established. She also had familial combined hyperlipidemia as an additional risk factor. This case suggests that additional risk factors like hyperlip...
متن کاملIsolated intracranial fibromuscular dysplasia presents as stroke in a 19-year-old female.
Isolated intracranial fibromuscular dysplasia is rare and may present with cerebrovascular events. It should be considered as etiology of stroke in otherwise healthy young patients. Though diagnosis is often challenging, characteristic morphologies may be revealed on magnetic resonance and catheter angiography. Cephalocervical fibromuscular dysplasia typically involves the extracranial portion ...

A 16-year-old boy, who had sudden left-sided hemiplegia, died two weeks following onset of symptoms. A right carotid angiogram showed stenosis at the termination of the internal carotid artery. The middle cerebral artery had a beaded appearance and some of its branches were occluded. A basal "moyamoya" syndrome and transdural anastomoses were present. At autopsy, multiple intracranial dissectin...
متن کاملFibromuscular dysplasia of cervical and intracranial arteries.
Fibromuscular dysplasia is an uncommon, segmental, nonatherosclerotic arterial disease of unknown aetiology. The disease primarily affects women and involves intermediate-sized arteries in many areas of the body, including cervical and intracranial arteries. Although often asymptomatic, fibromuscular dysplasia can also be associated with spontaneous dissection, severe stenosis that compromises ...
متن کاملFibromuscular Dysplasia and Intravenous Thrombolytic Treatment.
Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD), which usually affects middle-aged and older women, is a non-atheromatous and non-inflammatory angiopathy. Definitive diagnosis is made only by angiography showing classic string-of-beads appearance. In this article, we present a patient with acute ischemic stroke due to FMD who was successfully treated with thrombolytic therapy as well as to revise the approach to...
