title: A distinctive case of fibromuscular dysplasia.
abstract: Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a rare, non-inflammatory angiopathy, which can affect the brain supplying arteries. Usually, the diagnosis is based on conventional and/or MR angiography. We present a patient with multisegmental stenoses of the internal carotid artery (ICA) where the diagnosis of FMD is based on an eye-catching ultrasound finding.
