- Abstract
Dear Editor, A 14 year-old girl was diagnosed with Takayasu's arteritis [TA] after developing a mid-aortic syndrome [MAS]. On day 20, she underwent a sequential STA-MCA bypass 2 weeks apart 1 month after admission [right followed by left]; with an STA biopsy on both occasions, which confirmed Fibromuscular dyspasia [FMD] [Figure 1]. Our child had features of both c-TA and FMD and only STA biopsy was able to confirm FMD.[[2]]{Table 1}{Table 2} FMD is treated with antiplatelets, anti-hypertensives, endovascular interventions or STA-MCA bypass.[[3]] Immunosuppressants are unhelpful.
