[Williams-Beuren syndrome and renovascular arterial hypertension]. 1978

L Revillon, and C Almange, and A Michardiere, and Y Logeais, and P Leborgne

The Williams and Beuren's syndrome associates a particuliar facies, a mental debility, a supravalvular aortic stenosis, and frequent vascular anomalies of pulmonary artery as well as aorta and its branches. Relations between this syndrome and congenital idiopathic hypercalcemia seem now determined; the hypertension which has been frequently observed in this last case, seems more unusual in the case of Williams and Beuren's syndrome. The authors report a case about this syndrome in which the hypertension seemed linked to a stenosis of the left renal artery and which has been treated surgically. A year later the result is satisfactory but the evolutive potential of arterial lesions described in this syndrome does not necessory lead to a final recovery. Besides there are in this disease hypertensions which are relevant to an other etiology (more especially aortic hypoplasia) and stenosis of renal arteries without hypertension.

D008607 Intellectual Disability Subnormal intellectual functioning which originates during the developmental period. This has multiple potential etiologies, including genetic defects and perinatal insults. Intelligence quotient (IQ) scores are commonly used to determine whether an individual has an intellectual disability. IQ scores between 70 and 79 are in the borderline range. Scores below 67 are in the disabled range.

D012078 Renal Artery Obstruction Narrowing or occlusion of the RENAL ARTERY or arteries. It is due usually to ATHEROSCLEROSIS; FIBROMUSCULAR DYSPLASIA; THROMBOSIS; EMBOLISM, or external pressure. The reduced renal perfusion can lead to renovascular hypertension (HYPERTENSION, RENOVASCULAR).
