Abstrakt: Atypical fibromuscular dysplasia of the bulb or carotid web is a nonatheromatous pathology more common in African and African-American populations. It is implicated in the occurrence of cerebral infarcts of unknown causes. Its diagnosis is made by angio-CT of the supra-aortic trunks and is characterized by a defect in the posterior wall of the bulb. Treatment with antiplatelet agents prevents the occurrence of stroke, but radical treatment remains surgical and endovascular. We report 2 observations of carotid web diagnosed and medically managed at the regional hospital of Saint Louis.
