Abstract
In black stroke patients, a particular form of fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD), called atypical FMD (aFMD), is involved in stroke mechanism. The high rate of stroke recurrence under medical treatment leads to propose surgery in such patients. Regarding its location level on the carotid bulb, aFMD is often confused with atherosclerosis or free-floating thrombus. Nowadays, only histology can confirm the diagnosis. MRI of aFMD has never been assessed.
