Abstract:
Renal artery aneurysm is rare, and its incidence in the general population remains elusive. Most aneurysms are asymptomatic. When symptomatic, renal artery aneurysm may be associated with hypertension, flank pain, hematuria, or urinary collecting system obstruction. We report the case of a left renal artery aneurysm in a young adult. The symptomatology was marked by massive hematuria associated with left flank pain. A left subcapsular nephrectomy after a failed embolization attempt was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful.
