Abstract
Media sclerosis Mönckeberg (MSM) is associated with progressive calcifications of the arterial wall media leaving the intima intact. MSM is frequently associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease. In some cases, however, no risk factors are present suggesting presence of a primary dystopic calcification disorder. Here we propose diagnostic criteria and advocate dedicated research into this as yet poorly defined vascular disorder.
