Stroke Secondary to Fibromuscular Dysplasia treatment in Querétaro

A stroke secondary to fibromuscular dysplasia occurs when a non-inflammatory alteration of the artery wall, called fibromuscular dysplasia, promotes the interruption of blood flow to the brain.

Common causes: Fibromuscular dysplasia changes the caliber of the vessels, which can lead to narrowings, dissections, or clots that result in a stroke.

Frequent symptoms: Sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking, visual disturbances, or a severe headache of sudden onset.

Which specialist treats it? The vascular medicine specialist and the vascular surgeon assess the state of the arteries, while the neurosurgeon addresses the brain component. When neurological symptoms come on abruptly, seeking care immediately makes all the difference.
