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);

Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
