Cause
The cause of fibromuscular dysplasia has not been identified. A variety of factors have been implicated. These include:
- Genetic predisposition with a reported autosomal mode of inheritance in some families
- Hormonal influence, given the predominance in women of childbearing age
- Mechanical factors such as stretching of smooth muscle cells and trauma to the blood vessel wall
- Ischemia of the blood vessel wall due to fibrotic occlusion of the vasa vasorum
