Abstract:
The case is described of a patient at term of her second pregnancy with spontaneous rupture of a renal arterial aneurysm, successfully delivered by caesarean section with primary repair of the renal artery. Sixteen cases have previously been reported, but only one was dealt with in a similar way. The literature is reviewed and the aetiology of pregnancy-related arterial aneurysm is discussed.
