Resumen
ALONSO-ALCANIZ, M.; ANTOLIN, J.M.; REBOLLEDO, J.R. y MUNOZ-MONTANO, C.. Fibromuscular dysplasia: unusual cause of abdominal pain. Rev. esp. sanid. penit. [online]. 2017, vol.19, n.1, pp.35-37. ISSN 2013-6463.
Spontaneous dissection of the renal artery is a rare phenomenon, and is more common amongst men. It is not a frequent cause of abdominal pain2, which is why diagnosis is often late. The case under study is a 45 year old patient that presented sudden pain in the left renal fossa of 12 hours evolution, with no findings from the basic laboratory tests (lab testing, urinary sediment and ultrasound), an abdominal CAT was therefore carried out, which showed areas of renal infarction, as well as an emergency arteriogram, which gave findings of a possible Fibromuscular Dysplasia of the left intrarenal artery as the first diagnostic probability with a partially thrombosed focal dissection.
