Abstract: 　Objective　To explore the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of refractory hypertension caused by renal artery fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) in children. Method　The clinical data of a child with refractory hypertension caused by FMD were retrospectively analyzed. Results　A boy, with onset at age of 4 years, had significantly increased blood pressure and decreased serum potassium. His renin and angiotensin levels were significantly elevated. The boy was diagnosed with renovascular hypertension by color Doppler ultrasonography, enhanced thoracoabdominal CT and vascular reconstruction. Oral administration of a variety of antihypertensive drugs is not effective. The child was finally diagnosed of refractory hypertension caused by FMD using renal angiography. The child was not suitable for surgery. After adjusting the antihypertensive drugs, the blood pressure of the child tended to be stable. The boy received continuous follow-up for 8 years. The antihypertensive regimen was adjusted annually and blood pressure fluctuations and target organ damage were dynamically assessed. Conclusion　Children with FMD caused renal vascular hypertension may have no specific manifestations in the early stage. The drug treatment is preferred, and surgical treatment may be considered.
