Roentgenologic appearance of fibromuscular dysplasia

Clinical and roentgenologic findings in 100 hypertensive patients with fibromuscular disease of the renal arteries are presented and compared with the experiences obtained from previously reported large series. Frequency of bilateral disease and abnormal findings at urography, involvement of segmental arteries and occurrence of extrarenal manifestations are reported. A striking female preponderance is noted, and there is evidence that the disease inflicts middle-aged rather than young women.
