Small atrophic kidney secondary to renal vein thrombosis: report of a case diagnosed arteriographically.
Although rena vein thrombosis usually presents with a large or normal-sized kidney radiographically, a small atrophic kidney may be the end stage result of complete renal vein thrombosis with subsequent hemorrhagic infarction. A small atrophic kidney secondary to renal vein thrombosis (probably of neonatal origin) was diagnosed by selective renal arteriography in a 31-year-old woman being studied for hypertension of unknown etiology.
