Fibromuscular dysplasia is a vasculopathy that primarily affects branches of the aorta and involves the renal arteries in 85% of cases; it is therefore frequently associated with hypertension. The second most frequently affected artery is the internal carotid artery near the C1 and C2 segments[^1].
Epidemiology
Fibromuscular dysplasia occurs with an incidence of approximately 1%[^1].
Etiology
The etiology of fibromuscular dysplasia is currently unknown.
Diagnosis
The gold standard for diagnosing fibromuscular dysplasia is angiography.
Aneurysms
The incidence of aneurysms associated with fibromuscular dysplasia is reported to be between 20-50%[^1].
