Prevalence of cervical fibromuscular dysplasia among aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients
We report a high prevalence (8.3%) of cervical FMD among aSAH patients, but no clear differences in aneurysm severity and ICA elongation compared to those without. Given the high prevalence, we recommend routine screening for cervical FMD in aSAH patients on CTA (or another angiography modality). If FMD is suspected, full-body CTA (or other angiographic modality) should be considered for further vascular assessment.
