Systemic hypertension and transient ischemic attack in a 6-year-old girl with fibromuscular dysplasia treated with percutaneous angioplasty.
We describe a 6-year-old girl with arterial hypertension secondary to fibromuscular dysplasia with stenoses of both renal arteries and transient ischemic attack due to extracranial right internal carotid artery subtotal occlusion as well as left internal carotid artery stenosis. She was treated with percutaneous angioplasty of both renal and both carotid arteries.
