1. Predominance of women
2. Associations: young adults, Ollier's disease, saccular aneurysms
3. String of beads, long tapered segment, and false aneurysm may be found radiographically
4. Usual location is 1.5 cm above bifurcation although other sites may be implicated
5. Complications include dissection or vasospasm due to angiography
6. Half may develop TIA or stroke
7. Other signs include asymptomatic bruit, pulsatile tinnitus
8. Overall prognosis is relatively benign with less recurrent strokes than with atheromatous disease
9.HTN
10, usually extracranial, due to abnormal Media. middle portion of artery familial or sporadic SAH
11. Renal aa involved

FMD Gal in Norcal

also if you have not already.....check out FMDSA.ORG
saccular aneurysms are not rare with carotid FMD, every person who has been diagnosed with carotid fmd needs to be evaluated for aneurysms.
FMD is NOT rare it is UNDERDIAGNOSED
