title: Calcified renal artery aneurism embolization in a solitary kidney.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To review presentation, diagnosis and treatment of renal artery aneurysms, a very uncommon disease.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report the case of a male with a calcified renal artery aneurysm in a solitary kidney.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Symptomatic effects may be hypertension, hematuria or flank pain. Arteriosclerosis and medial dysplasia are the most frequent causes and diagnosis is based on CT scan and angiography.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The renal artery aneurysm is a disease with low prevalence and there is no clear protocol for management. The number of cases has increased over the last decades and endovasculrar treatment is a good therapeutic option.
