Abstract
Traditionally, intra-vitam diagnosis of fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) of brain supplying arteries is a domain of conventional selective angi ography. We are aware of only two publications reporting of ultrasound displayed intimal and medial variants of carotid artery FMD, in one c ase each. We present a patient in whom color-coded duplex-sonography r evealed a web-like carotid artery bulb stenosis meeting the specific c riteria of a subtype of intimal FMD.
