شماره ركورد

Abstract
The course of cervicocephalic fibromuscular dysplasia is mainly asymptomatic. It is often found as an incidental finding on autopsy or angiography mostly in women and is commonly located in extracranial region of carotid artery. In the present article, we reported a 21 year-old man who has been initially accepted to our intensive care with a tentative diagnosis of cerebrovascular infarct after having symptoms of loss of consciousness and right hemiparesis. He later received a certain diagnosis of fibromuscular dysplasia after neuroimaging findings. This disorder should be considered in differential diagnosis of young stroke patients.
