Fibromuscular dysplasia.

Most often it affects the renal and internal carotid artery (ICA), although any artery can be involved. Internal carotid arteries are affected in 25-30% of patients. When carotid arteries are involved, cervical segments C1-C2 are most often affected. Intracranial aneurysms often occur in patients with fibromuscular dysplasia of the cephalic arterial system, their frequency being as high as 51%. FMD has been associated with intracranial aneurysms in 7-50% cases, but FMD associated with a giant (> 2.5 cm) intracranial aneurysm is rare. Extracranial internal carotid aneurysms are uncommon, with only 3% caused by FMD .
