Fibromuscular dysplasia in an adult male as a cause of renal artery stenosis and secondary hypertension treated with renal artery stenting
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Renovascular hypertension due to fibromuscular dysplasia is an uncommon cause of secondary hypertension and is more common in females. This entity is an important treatable cause of secondary hypertension. Case presentation We report the case of a 21-year-old asymptomatic male found to have high blood pressure on routine checkup. Renal angiogram revealed fibromuscular dysplasia involving the right renal artery. He underwent percutaneous angioplasty with complete recovery. The single antihypertensive which he was on was stopped next month. Conclusion Fibromuscular dysplasia causing stenosis of renal artery is uncommon. High degree of suspicion is required for the timely diagnosis and treatment of this potentially treatable cause of secondary hypertension.

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...

متن کاملFibromuscular dysplasia of the renal artery as a cause of secondary hypertension.
Fibromuscular dysplasia is an uncommon cause of secondary hypertension. When the resulting hypertension cannot be successfully treated with medications, balloon angioplasty has been shown to be successful by disrupting the "webs" of tissue in the renal artery. We present a case of secondary hypertension due to fibromuscular dysplasia and the successful treatment with balloon angioplasty.
متن کاملRenal artery stenosis: clinical and therapeutic implications.
Renal artery stenosis is a common cause of secondary hypertension with a rising incidence due to systemic atherosclerosis in an aging population. Patients with renovascular disease complicated by refractory hypertension, acute pulmonary edema, or progressive renal dysfunction benefit from aggressive medical therapy and may be considered for renal revascularization. Atherosclerotic renal artery ...
متن کاملHypertensive Encephalopathy Caused by Fibromuscular Dysplasia of Renal Arteries in a Child
Systemic hypertension is uncommon in children. It is usually secondary to underlying diseases. Here, we present an 11-year-old boy suffering from critical renal artery stenosis with unusual initial presentation of status epilepticus and hypertensive cerebellar encephalopathy. Angiography revealed bilateral renal arteries fibromuscular dysplasia. The encephalopathy improved dramatically after re...
