  • Title: Bilateral fibromuscular hyperplasia in the internal carotid arteries with aneurysm formation.
    Author: Bergentz SE, Ericsson BF, Linell F, Olivercrona H.
    Journal: Acta Chir Scand; 1976; 142(7):501-4. PubMed ID: 1020589.
    Abstract:
    A patient with bilateral fibromuscular hyperplasia in the carotid arteries with development of aneurysms is reported. The patient had no symptoms except for a palpable mass on one side and a bruit on both sides. Surgery was carried out bilaterally, using direct end-to-end suture on one side and a reconstruction with an autologous vein on the other side. It is suggested that fibromuscular hyperplasia may be the cause of some of the internal carotid artery aneurysms reported as congenital or with uncertain etiology. Reconstructive surgery of the carotid artery is recommended due to the obvious hazards of the condition.
