Segmental renal artery stenosis diagnosed with captopril renography in a child.
A 9-year-old girl with clinical suspicion of renovascular hypertension was referred for captopril renography. This showed a segmental abnormality when the left kidney was analyzed as two separate cortical regions of interest. Subsequent angiography confirmed stenosis in the distal mid and lower pole branches of the left renal artery.
