We report on the association of renal agenesis, renal arteriovenous fistulae, fibromuscular dysplasia and vertebral body anomaly in a young female patient with renovascular hypertension. We believe these vertebral and vascular anomalies can be included under the “V” of the VACTERL association; expanding the vascular spectrum of this complex disorder. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
