Unilateral Fibromuscular Dysplasia in a Young Lady Presenting With Renovascular Hypertension: A Rare Clinical Entity - Abstract
Renovascular hypertension is associated with increased cardiovascular mortality and morbidity and may constitute a treatable cause of secondary hypertension. Renal Artery
Stenosis (RAS) due to Fibromuscular Dysplasia (FMD) is an uncommon cause of renovascular hypertension. It frequently affects children, but is very rare in adults and is more common
in females. We report the case of a 22-year-old asymptomatic female found to have high blood pressure on routine checkup. Doppler ultrasonography and CT angiography of renal
arteries revealed fibromuscular dysplasia involving the right renal artery.
