A nine-year-old girl with renovascular hypertension is presented. The diagnosis of fibromuscular dysplasia was established by selective renal angiography, and percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty was performed. After successful dilation, the blood pressure returned to normal. The patient has been followed for a year and there is no evidence of hypertension.

Background: Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) is a rare but serious complication after carotid artery revascularization. This study aims to determine the impact of carotid artery stenting (CAS) modality on the incidence, severity and overall outcomes of CHS after carotid revascularization.
Methods: Data from patients who underwent CAS with either distal embolic protection (CAS+DEP) or transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) were obtained from the Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) database 2016-2023.

Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a non-atherosclerotic, non-inflammatory vascular disease of medium-sized arteries that causes abnormal cellular growth in arterial walls and most commonly affects young to middle-aged women (20-50 years of age). While FMD often involves the renal arteries, it can affect any arterial bed. FMD has a characteristic angiographic appearance of a "string of beads.

Fibromuscular Dysplasia (FMD) is a nonatherosclerotic, noninflammatory vascular disorder predominantly affecting women aged 18 to 65 years. This case report highlights a 74-year-old female diagnosed with FMD incidentally during evaluation for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Imaging revealed significant vascular anomalies, including a giant intracranial carotid aneurysm and a hypoplastic iliac vein with extensive collateral formation.

Acute ischemic stroke, a medical emergency caused by reduced cerebral blood flow, results in brain cell damage. While commonly associated with older individuals, strokes can also occur in young and middle-aged adults, posing significant socio-economic and health challenges due to the long-term impact of the condition. This poses significant socio-economic and health challenges because stroke is a leading cause of disability and mortality.

BACKGROUND Arterial hypertension in pediatric patients often presents complex diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. The diagnosis of hypertension in children is based on different guidelines than in adults, with arterial hypertension in children defined as systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure values at or above the 95th percentile for age, sex, and height. Unlike adult populations, it is predominantly secondary in etiology, with conditions such as renovascular hypertension as common causes.
