The prevalence of fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) in patients with cervical artery dissection (CAD) is unknown. Our objectives were to assess the risk of CAD recurring as a stroke or a transient ischemic attack and the association of these events with FMD.
We prospectively included and followed 103 consecutive patients who had been admitted for a CAD. The median follow-up was 4 years (range 4 months to 10 years). The main criteria for inclusion were a mural hematoma demonstrated by cervical magnetic resonance imaging and/or signs suggesting CAD on 2 other investigations. FMD was diagnosed on the so-called string of beads pattern by digital subtraction angiography.
Five patients had CAD recurrence (60% occurred late). Four of these 5 patients had FMD. In 4 patients, CAD recurrence involved another cervical artery.
The rate of symptomatic CAD recurrence was 1% per year and was often related to FMD.
纤维肌性发育异常(FMD)在颈动脉夹层(CAD)患者中的患病率尚不清楚。我们的目标是评估CAD复发为中风或短暂性脑缺血发作的风险,以及这些事件与FMD的关联。
我们前瞻性纳入并随访了103例因CAD入院的连续患者。中位随访时间为4年(范围4个月至10年)。纳入的主要标准是颈椎磁共振成像显示的壁内血肿和/或其他两项检查提示CAD的体征。通过数字减影血管造影在所谓的串珠样模式下诊断FMD。
5例患者出现CAD复发(60%为晚期复发)。这5例患者中有4例患有FMD。在4例患者中,CAD复发累及另一根颈动脉。
有症状的CAD复发率为每年1%,且通常与FMD有关。
