title: [A case of ruptured renal artery aneurysm treated effectively by endovascular embolization].
abstract: Previously, renal arterial aneurysms were thought to be extremely uncommon. However, these lesions are now being detected more frequently as incidental findings on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The incidence of ruptured renal artery aneurysms is very low. A 58-year-old man presented to a physician complaining of left flank pain and was diagnosed as having a left kidney stone. Abdominal CT scan demonstrated a mass in the left renal pelvis. The mass measured 40mm in diameter and showed calcification. The patient was referred to our hospital 5 days after the first attack. Left renal mass was diagnosed as renal aneurysm based on clinical signs and perirenal findings on CT. Emergent endvascular embolization was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful. Hypertension improved after embolization.
