Fibromuscular dysplasia is an arterial occlusive disorder that often affects the renal arteries and leads to renovascular hypertension. The cause of this disease is unknown. However, the occurrence in siblings suggests that genetic factors may play a role. We describe two cases involving hypertensive identical twins with fibromuscular dysplasia of the renal arteries. This unique clinical case reinforces a possible hereditary nature of this arterial occlusive disorder.
纤维肌发育不良是一种动脉闭塞性疾病，常累及肾动脉并导致肾血管性高血压。该病病因不明。然而，在兄弟姐妹中的发病情况提示遗传因素可能起作用。我们描述了两例患有肾动脉纤维肌发育不良的高血压同卵双胞胎病例。这一独特的临床病例强化了这种动脉闭塞性疾病可能具有的遗传性。
