Differences between the pediatric and adult presentation of fibromuscular dysplasia: results from the US Registry

Abstract: In the United States Registry for FMD, pediatric FMD affects children from infancy throughout childhood. All children presented with hypertension and many presented with headache and abdominal bruits. In children, FMD most commonly affects the renal vasculature, but also frequently involves the mesenteric arteries and abdominal aorta; the carotid vessels are less frequently involved.

“…The main cause of renovascular hypertension in this age group is FMD, but in 20-40% of cases renovascular hypertension is a complication of other conditions (syndromic renovascular hypertension), including neurofibromatosis type 1 (> 15%) [65][66][67]. Renovascular hypertension may also be caused by a congenital or acquired (e.g., transplant renal artery stenosis) stenosis of the main renal artery or additional renal arteries and/or segmental branches [68][69].…”

“…The French [4][5][6] and the US [7][8][9][10] registries have led to a reappraisal of the frequency, demographic characteristics, classification, pathophysiology, and management of FMD. The face of the disease is evolving from a rare disease of renal arteries accounting for a minority of cases of secondary hypertension in young women to a "systemic" vascular disease affecting renal and also cervico-cephalic, coronary, and iliac arteries 1,11 (Table 1).…”

“…A 2016 US Registry report found a high prevalence of aneurysm and dissection in the FMD population. Of the 921 patients included in this analysis, 21.6% had an aneurysm and 25.7% had an arterial dissection . Although FMD can affect arteries of any size, involvement of smaller intracranial blood vessels is rare and vertebral FMD without carotid artery involvement is exceptional.…”
