Fibromuscular dysplasia – Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is the abnormal development or growth of cells in the walls of arteries which cause the vessels to narrow. Arteries within the brain and kidneys can be affected. A characteristic "string of beads" pattern caused by the alternating narrowing and enlarging of the artery can be seen on angiogram. Some people do not have any symptoms of fibromuscular dysplasia or findings upon physical examination. Any pain or clinical symptom related to FMD typically comes from the organ that is supplied by the effected artery.
