title: A rare association of fibromuscular dysplasia, renal agenesis, renal arteriovenous fistulae, and vertebral anomalies: expanding the V in VACTERL association.
abstract: We report on the association of renal agenesis, renal arteriovenous fistulae, fibromuscular dysplasia and vertebral body anomaly in a young female patient with renovascular hypertension. We believe these vertebral and vascular anomalies can be included under the "V" of the VACTERL association; expanding the vascular spectrum of this complex disorder.
