Stroke Secondary to Fibromuscular Dysplasia
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Stroke secondary to fibromuscular dysplasia refers to a cerebrovascular event that occurs when an abnormality in the wall of the arteries, called fibromuscular dysplasia, alters the flow of blood to the brain.
What causes it: fibromuscular dysplasia causes certain arteries to narrow or become deformed, which can favor an interruption of blood supply to the brain.
Warning signs: sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking, visual disturbances, or a severe and sudden headache.
Whom to see? The neurologist evaluates the impact on the brain, and the neurosurgeon assesses the component that might require intervention. With sudden signs like those described, this is an emergency: seek medical care immediately.
