Description : Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a nonatherosclerotic, noninflammatory arterial disease
that most commonly involves the renal and carotid arteries. The prevalence of symptomatic
renal artery FMD is about 4 in 1,000 and the prevalence of cervicocranial FMD is about
half of that. Histologic classification includes 3 main subtypes, intimal, medial,
and perimedial, which may be associated in a single patient. Angiographic classification
includes the multifocal type, with multiple stenoses and the 'string of beads' appearance
that is related to medial FMD, and tubular and focal types, which are not clearly
related to specific histologic lesions (summary by Plouin et al., 2007);
