title: [Embolization of an intraparenchymal aneurysm of the left kidney responsible for recurrent haematuria].
abstract: The authors report the case of a patient hospitalised for an episode of massive haematuria with clots requiring drainage by urethral stent. After an initial work-up comprising CT urography, considered to be normal, and a non-contributive ureteroscopy, renal CT angiography was performed, revealing an intraparenchymal aneurysm of the right kidney, about 15 mm in diameter. Two embolizations of this vascular malformation avoided the need for haemostasis surgery.
