[Costolumbar pain, aneurysm of the renal artery and hypertension].
Thrombosis of a renal artery aneurysm had provoked renal atrophy and secondary renovascular hypertension in a patient in whom rapid diagnosis was not possible from the abdominal symptomatology and results of biological tests. Investigation of lumbar pain should therefore include an IVU with or without subsequent renal arteriography, the rapid execution of these examinations being of primordial importance. Treatment was by nephrectomy, which allowed hypertension to be controlled and risks related to the aneurysm avoided.
