Renal artery aneurysm in a solitary kidney

J Clin Ultrasound. 2008 Oct;36(8):500-3. doi: 10.1002/jcu.20369.

Abstract

A 55-year-old hypertensive female was referred for renal artery color Doppler examination because of a suspicion of renovascular hypertension. Renal artery aneurysm was occasionally detected at the distal portion of the artery in the single left kidney, without the presence of stenosis. An aneurysm was confirmed via magnetic resonance angiography and arteriographical examination.
