title: Renal infarction due to renal artery dysplasia with dissection. Report of a case in a normotensive patient.
abstract: A previously healthy 44-year-old man with well-documented normotension had a sudden onset of left flank pain and delayed onset of constitutional symptoms, hematuria, and elevations of lactic dehydrogenase, serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase, and creatinine levels. Angiography revealed unilateral renal artery fibromuscular dysplasia with dissection and infarction. In the year since, he has remained well and normotensive without therapy. The literature is reviewed.
