We report two patients with fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) involving intracranial arteries. In the first patient the diagnosis was made at autopsy. Both patients were symptomatic from this disease and, in addition, displayed unusual hormonal abnormalities which may well have contributed to the genesis or evolution of FMD.
