Renal microaneurysms and hematuria.
An unusually rare case of chronic hematuria, secondary to an intraparenchymal renal aneurysm is presented. The triad of normal blood pressure, intrarenal aneurysm, and hematuria can be treated conservatively by partial nephrectomy with good results. This treatment is recommended since in a significant percentage of patients with these lesions spontaneous rupture can occur, which is a life-threatening disaster.
