We present a unique case of renovascular hypertension due to combined renal artery disease in a 22-year-old woman. Renal angiography revealed renal artery stenosis with poststenotic dilatation and an aneurysm due to fibromuscular dysplasia in the left kidney, and a congenital arteriovenous fistula in the right kidney. The results of a captopril test and plasma renin sampling demonstrated that the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system was stimulated in both kidneys, accounting for the hypertension in this patient. Almost all cases of renovascular hypertension are due to only one underlying renal artery disease. This is the first case of renovascular hypertension associated not only with renal artery stenosis and an aneurysm due to fibromuscular dysplasia, but also with a congenital arteriovenous fistula.
