[A case report: renal arteriovenous malformation associated with horseshoe kidney detected by hemorrhage due to injury].
A case report of a patient with renal arteriovenous malformation associated with horseshoe kidney detected by hemorrhage due to injury. A 71-year-old man was injured in a traffic accident and conveyed to our hospital. The computed tomographic scan showed renal injury of the horseshoe kidney with retroperitonial hemorrhage. We treated him conservatively, but he complained of abdominal fullness and went into hemorrhagic shock. So, we performed arterial angiography. It showed a right renal arteriovenous malformation from which leakage of contrast medium was detected. Hemostasis was possible by embolization of the abnormal artery. He has not had any recurrence of renal arteriovenous malformation. To our knowledge, this case is the third report of renal arteriovenous malformation associated with horseshoe kidney in Japan.
