Background: Carotid Web and focal carotid diaphragm are atypical fibromuscular dysplasia. The bilateral stroke due to this dysplasia is extremely rare. We will report a series of three young patients, admitted for a bilateral ischemic stroke caused by carotid bulb web and internal carotid diaphragm. Also, we will discuss their manifestations and treatment modalities.
Case Presentations: In our study, we will report a series of three North African patients, two females an one male, at the mean age of 37, admitted for an ischemic stroke caused by bilateral carotid bulb web and bilateral internal carotid diaphragm.All of our patients were young and didn't have a history of drug use.
Conclusions: In our series, only end-vascular treatment was performed which was necessary to prevent any recurrence. Antiplatelet therapy was used in all cases to prevent any stroke during the follow-up.

Background: Adolescents with secondary hyperaldosteronism often present with severe and treatment-resistant hypertension, along with hypokalemia. Renovascular hypertension is frequently caused by renal artery stenosis, primarily due to atherosclerosis and fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD). The presence of an accessory renal artery (ARA) is a common anatomical variation that can contribute to secondary renal vascular hypertension.

Unlabelled: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare cause of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), which typically occurs in women at low risk of atherosclerosis. We herein report a case of SCAD in a 57-year-old man who later developed Takayasu arteritis. The patient presented to our hospital complaining of chest pain and was diagnosed with unstable angina.

A carotid web (CaW) is an atypical form of fibromuscular dysplasia characterized by a fibrous, shelf-like intimal flap originating from the posterior wall of the internal carotid bulb projecting into the arterial lumen. CaWs disturb normal blood flow and create stasis between the intimal reflection and the carotid wall, thereby promoting thrombogenesis and increasing the risk of downstream embolic strokes. Observational data have suggested that CaWs are associated with strokes with otherwise unknown etiology, particularly in young patients without other stroke factors, and stroke recurrence rates of symptomatic CaWs have been reported to be as high as 20% over 2 years.

Background: Carotid web (CaW) is a subtype of fibromuscular dysplasia that predominantly involves the intimal layer of the arterial wall and is commonly overlooked as a separate causative entity for recurrent strokes. CaW is defined as a shelf-like lesion at the carotid bulb, although different morphological features have been reported. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been described in the literature as a useful microscopic and cross-sectional tomographic imaging tool.
