Abstract
Renovascular hypertension (RVHT) is one of the forms of identifiable hypertension; Whereas most renovascular lesions are caused by atherosclerosis; in the remaining cases fibromuscular dysplasia is the causative factor; Fibrous dysplasia of the tunica media is generally the most common lesion and a progressive course may be less frequently seen; Intimal and periarterial lesions are less common but usually show rapid progression to arterial occlusion; and can cause infarction of several systems; We report the case of a woman with RVHT secondary to fibromuscular dysplasia complicated with renal infarction
