title: [Renal artery aneurysm].
abstract: Patients with haematuria should be submitted to deep investigative protocol, for a more accurate diagnosis. Thus, we report a case of macroscopic haematuria and the set of complementary examinations that led to the diagnosis of this rare pathological entity. The classification (etiological or morphological), diagnosis, surgical intervention indications and therefore the treatment (embolization or surgical) were pointed out. Accurate diagnosis is obtained through Renal Digitalis Arteriography after the morphological assessment of the normal urinary tract (UGE and renal US) and the evidence of unilateral bleeding (cystoscopy).
