Abstract 118: Ischemic Stroke in a 47‐Year‐Old Male with Carotid Webs and Buschke‐Ollendorff syndrome
Year: 2024
Type: conference-abstract
Abstract: Carotid web (CW) is an atypical form of focal fibromuscular dysplasia defined as an abnormal‐shelf‐like projection of intimal fibrous tissue into the carotid bulb, and has the tendency to alter the hemodynamic flow, increasing the risk of thromboembolism, leading to recurrent strokes and/or TIAs. CW has been associated with a variety of different pathologies, including connective tissue disease, however, there are no reported links between Buschke‐Ollendorff syndrome (BOS) and CW. Here we report a case of stroke in a 47‐year‐old man with BOS, presenting with an R‐LVO with abnormal neovascularization and carotid webs on the left ICA, as visualized on cerebral angiogram.
