Renal artery aneurysms (RAA) are rare and are usually diagnosed by Doppler ultrasonography or angiography performed in the investigation of specific clinical symptoms. We report herein a case of severe arterial hypertension in an 8-year-old girl arising from a large saccular RAA. Intravenous antihypertensive drugs were necessary to achieve blood pressure control and the final diagnosis was obtained from angio-CT scan and selective angiography that demonstrated a large saccular aneurysm of the left renal artery with parietal calcification. After confirmation of inexistent function of the entire left kidney by Tc99m-MAG3 renal isotope scan, nephrectomy was performed. The child's blood pressure further normalised and, 1\u2005month after surgery, she had ceased any antihypertensive therapy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2013-009691","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,5,4]],"date-time":"2013-05-04T00:26:46Z","timestamp":1367627206000},"page":"bcr2013009691","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Renovascular
