Fibromuscular dysplasia
(
FMD
) was found in the intramuscular arteries of both commercial (normal) and mutant (LWC) strains of Japanese quail. The mutant strain LWC is afflicted with an inherited
muscular dystrophy
exhibiting myotonia. The arterial lesions were classified as medial fibroplasia or medial hyperplasia, both being subtypes of medial
FMD
. Some lesions showed extensive proliferation of medial smooth muscle into the vascular lumen, resulting in partial occlusion of the affected blood vessel.
FMD
occurred more frequently in the mutant LWC quail than in the commercial strain. Ischaemic changes were absent in the associated muscle structures in both strains. The significance of
FMD
in relation to the skeletal muscle changes in the mutant LWC strain remains unclear.
