Renovascular hypertension secondary to renal artery aneurysm detected by captopril-renography.
A case is described of a renal artery aneurysm which presented initially as hypertension. A captopril-renogram suggested a renal artery stenosis although none was found on arteriography or at surgery. After resection of the aneurysm the captopril-renogram was restored to normal.
