Fibromuscular dysplasia is a nonatherosclerotic, noninflammatory vascular disease that involves primarily the renal and internal carotid arteries and less often the vertebral, iliac, subclavian, and visceral arteries. Although its pathogenesis is not completely understood, humoral, mechanical, and genetic factors as well as mural ischemia may play a role. The natural history is relatively benign, with progression occurring in only a minority of the patients. Typical clinical manifestations are renovascular hypertension, stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage, abdominal angina, or claudication of the legs or arms. In patients with symptoms, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty has emerged as the treatment of choice in most involved vascular beds.

D005352 Fibromuscular Dysplasia An idiopathic, segmental, nonatheromatous disease of the musculature of arterial walls, leading to STENOSIS of small and medium-sized arteries. There is true proliferation of SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS and fibrous tissue. Fibromuscular dysplasia lesions are smooth stenosis and occur most often in the renal and carotid arteries. They may also occur in other peripheral arteries of the extremity.
