title: A case of renal artery stenosis in a child confirmed by multidetector computed tomographic angiography.
abstract: Renovascular hypertension is an uncommon disease, but it causes 5-10% of all childhood hypertension. The most common cause of renal artery stenosis is fibromuscular dysplasia, resulting in at least 60% of renovascular hypertension cases. This report describes a case of a renal artery stenosis confirmed by multidetector computed tomographic angiography.
