Recurrent Aneurysms of the Upper Arteries of the Lower Limb: An Atypical Manifestation of Fibromuscular Dysplasia—A Case Report

Abstract

Fibromuscular dysplasia (syn. arterial dysplasia, fibromuscular hyperplasia, medial fibroplasia) is an arteriopathy of unknown etiology, most frequently involving the renal arteries.

The string-of-beads appearance of these lesions seems to be a characteristic angiographic finding. We report atypical angiographic findings at an unusual site, which proved to correspond to fibromuscular dysplasia at histological examination.
