ABSTRACT
Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is an uncommon hyperplastic disorder affecting medium-sized arteries. It can lead to renovascular hypertension, sometimes associated with dissection. But it rarely causes renal infarction. We here report a case of recurrent renal infarction due to FMD. A previously healthy 29- year-old man presented with acute onset of right flank pain. He had been treated for the same symptom 8 years ago. Abdominal CT scan showed renal infarction at upper pole of right kidney. Renal arteriography demonstrated string of bead, consistent with FMD. It showed also old renal infarction at lower pole of right kidney. To our knowledge, recurrent renal infarction due to FMD has not been previously reported.
