title: Recurrent renovascular hypertension. Report of an unusual case.
abstract: A 7-year-old girl with histologically proved fibromuscular dysplasia underwent renal autotransplantation with prompt return of the blood pressure to normal. Two months later, immediately after tonsillectomy, severe hypertension recurred with marked narrowing of the previously patent anastomosis. After 4 weeks on antihypertensive therapy, the patient became normotensive again and remained so for 18 months, with marked widening of the anastomosis. It is possible that this complication might be explained on an immunologic basis.
