[Renal artery aneurysms in children]
Abstract:
Renal artery aneurysms were diagnosed in 11 patients (9 boys) aged 1 to 14. The examinations were carried out for vasorenal hypertension in 4 cases, for bladder-ureter reflux, hematuria, nephroptosis in 4, ureterohydronephrosis in 2 cases, and for interstitial nephritis. Aneurysms of the major trunk of the renal artery, mostly oval-shaped, 11 x 14 to 25 x 28 mm in size, were detected in 4 patients, intrarenal aneurysms 2 x 3 to 5 x 6 mm in size in 7 cases. The share of aneurysms among uronephrologic conditions in children was found to be 1.54%, among vasorenal hypertension cases, 4.3%. Vasorenal hypertension is the main optional sign of aneurysms of the main trunk of the renal artery, whereas for intrarenal aneurysms such sign is hematuria.
