Intimal Fibromuscular Dysplasia of Renal Artery: A Rare Case of Hypertension
نویسنده
چکیده
Hypertension has a long list of primary as well as secondary causes. Fibromuscular dysplasia is amongst the rare secon dary causes of hypertension. Intimal fibroplasia as a pathologic cause occurs in less than 10% of patients with fibromuscular dysplasia. We report a rare case of hypertension due to intimal fibromuscular dysplasia of renal artery, treated successfully with renal angioplasty and stenting. It is important to note that intimal fibromuscular dysplasia mimics atherosclerotic lesions morphologically and on renal angiography.

Background: Renal artery stenosis, which is defined as narrowing of one or both renal arteries or their branches, is one of the most common causes of secondary hypertension. The majority of renal vascular lesions show either fibromuscular dysplasia or atherosclerosis. Fibromuscular dysplasia is a common cause of renovascular hypertension in younger patients, and 90% of patients are young wome...

UNLABELLED Renovascular hypertension due to fibromuscular dysplasia is an uncommon but important cause of pediatric hypertension. It is usually ignored and diagnosed after a long delay because blood pressure is infrequently measured in children. We report a case of previously undiagnosed renovascular hypertension complicated with right renal infarction in a 2-year-10-month-old child, who initia...
متن کاملFocal Renal Arterial Fibromuscular Dysplasia Demonstrated via Intravascular Ultrasound Image.
A young male suffering from renovascular hypertension was admitted. His initial arteriogram highlighted a focal stenosis of the right renal artery. His intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) revealed increasing medial layer thickness accompanied by a mixture of both high and low echoic materials in this layer. There was also mild thickening of the intimal layer. The diagnosis of medial fibroplasia and...
متن کاملFibromuscular dysplasia in an accessory renal artery causing renovascular hypertension: a case report
BACKGROUND Renovascular hypertension is defined as hypertension caused by renal artery stenosis. The two main etiologies are atherosclerosis and fibromuscular dysplasia. Fibromuscular dysplasia in an accessory renal artery as a cause of renovascular hypertension is uncommon. CASE PRESENTATION In this report, we present a relatively uncommon case of renovascular hypertension in a 35-year-old f...
متن کاملAcute aortic dissection and stroke in multivessel fibromuscular dysplasia.
Fibromuscular dysplasia is a rare, nonatherosclerotic, noninflammatory vascular disease that typically affects women between the ages of 20 and 60 years. Although any artery can be affected, fibromuscular dysplasia most commonly affects the renal and carotid arteries. Fibromuscular dysplasia of the renal arteries usually presents with hypertension, while carotid or vertebral artery disease caus...
