Abstract
We report a 27-year-old woman with renovascular hypertension, renal infarction, and hepatic artery aneurysm due to fibromuscular dysplasia. The patient was first noted to have renal artery aneurysm and hepatic artery aneurysm at the age of 17. The renal infarction was asymptomatic and was incidentally detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination. Because of the rather peripheral location of the aneurysms, percutaneous transluminal renal artery angioplasty was considered inappropriate. This case suggests the need for long-term and periodical follow-up of patients with fibromuscular dysplasia.Entities:
