Renovascular hypertension: a case of intimal fibroplasia with congenital anomaly of the renal artery.
We report a case of renovascular hypertension caused by fibromuscular dysplasia (intimal fibroplasia) with congenital anomaly of the renal artery. Arteriography revealed complete occlusion from the root to the middle of the right renal artery and a collateral artery from the right lumbar artery. Histological examination showed intimal fibroplasia and three arterioles in the intima of the renal artery.
