Renal Artery Aneurysms: Careful Investigation is Critical
Abstract
We describe a case of a 36-year-old female patient who was investigated for renal artery aneurysms with angiography. Co-existing aneurysms within the mesenteric circulation were also noted, and a diagnosis of polyarteritis nodosa was made.Investigating patients with renal artery aneurysms using magnetic resonance imaging alone may miss cases of polyarteritis nodosa: a serious and potentially treatable condition.
