title: Page kidney: a curable form of arterial hypertension. Case report and review of the literature.
abstract: A case report of arterial hypertension which occurred 5 years after a blunt renal trauma is presented. The physiopathology of this type of hypertension along with the diagnostic features and the therapeutic aspects are extensively discussed. The sudden appearance of hypertension in a young patient following trauma must suggest a Page kidney as one of the diagnostic possibilities.
