Coexistence of Fibromuscular Dysplasia and Cystic Medial Necrosis in a Patient with Marfans Syndrome and Bilateral Carotid Artery Dissections
Stroke 25:2492-2496, Schievink, W.I.,et al, 1994
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Carotid dissections associated with Marfan?s syndrome may be the result of an extension of an aortic dissection or occur isolated from the aorta, even in the same patient. The occurrence of FMD in a patient with Marfan?s syndrome in conjunction with previous reports of FMD in a variety of connective tissue disorders suggests that FMD, like cystic medial necrosis, may be a nonspecific disease entity.
