Recurrent Transient Ischemic Attacks & Stroke in Association with an Internal Carotid Artery Web
Stroke 22:94-98, Morganlander,J.C.&Goldstein,L.B., 1991
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Fibromuscular dysplasia is a nonatherosclerotic vascular disease that most commonly affects cervical carotid arteries at the C1-C2 level when cephalic arteries are involved.Several histopathologic and angiographic subtypes of fibromuscular dysplasia exist;most have a benign natural history.We describe the third reported case of a pathologically proven, symptomatic proximal internal carotid artery web and suggest that patients with this lesion are at a higher risk for stroke.
