Concomitant renal and iliac fibromuscular dysplasia.
Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) usually involves the renal arteries and is an important cause of secondary hypertension in younger women. We report an unusual case of FMD in a middle-aged woman, not only involving both the renal and iliac arteries but also presenting in a pattern more typical of atherosclerosis.
