Abstract

Idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis is a rare disease possibly caused by an allergic reaction to insoluble lipid leaking through thinned arterial walls from atheromatous plaques. I report two cases of this condition occurring shortly after acute myocardial infarction in two patients with hypercholesterolaemia.
