Vasculitis or fibromuscular dysplasia?
نویسندگان
چکیده
The pathogenesis of TA is poorly understood. Vessel inflammation results in wall thickening, fibrosis, stenosis and thrombus formation.2 Panarteritis with adventitial and intimal scarring extends distally from the aorta into its branches, causing narrowing and occlusions. Inflammation can destroy the arterial media and lead to aneurysm formation.2 Morbidity due to vascular occlusion and aneurysm formation is high.

Bilateral renal infarction: an uncommon presentation of fibromuscular dysplasia
While fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is an established cause of secondary hypertension, its association with renal infarction is less well recognized. We report a middle-aged man who presented with complaints of loin pain and severe hypertension. Computed tomography angiography of the abdomen revealed bilateral renal infarction with multiple short-segment arterial dissection compatible with FMD ...

Background: Renal artery stenosis, which is defined as narrowing of one or both renal arteries or their branches, is one of the most common causes of secondary hypertension. The majority of renal vascular lesions show either fibromuscular dysplasia or atherosclerosis. Fibromuscular dysplasia is a common cause of renovascular hypertension in younger patients, and 90% of patients are young wome...
متن کاملCerebral vasculitides and non-arteriosclerotic vasculopathies: A Theoretical Review
Gross division of vasculitides is still today dependent upon the histological characteristics of the disease; nevertheless anatomic-pathological classifications mainly rely upon the diameter of the injured vessel and also upon the fact that the process is granulomatous, or not. Authors describe main cerebral vasculitides of primary and secondary origin, as well as some of the main non-atheroscl...
متن کاملSystemic fibromuscular dysplasia masquerading as polyarteritis nodosa.
The diagnosis of systemic diseases, such as vasculitis, may be difficult because of an uncharacteristic clinical presentation or the inability to obtain histopathological confirmation. Classification criteria for the systemic vasculitides have been composed as a guide for the diagnostic process. If polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is strongly suspected histological confirmation is not mandatory for t...
متن کاملFibromuscular dysplasia: a differential diagnosis of vasculitis.
Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) involves small- and medium-sized arteries, being a well-known cause of hypertension in young Caucasian women, when renal arteries are involved. The etiology of FMD remains unknown, despite many theories. A genetic component is suspected to exist, because the pathology affects primarily Caucasians. Association between FMD and the HLA-DRw6 histocompatibility antigen ...
