Renal Artery Pseudoaneurysm in Kawasaki Disease.
Whereas coronary aneurysms are commonly associated with Kawasaki disease, involvement of the renal vasculature is exceedingly rare. Genitourinary involvement in patients with Kawasaki disease is typically limited to sterile pyuria and proteinuria. In this case, a 13-year-old girl who presented with right flank pain and microhematuria was found to have an intraparenchymal hemorrhagic mass on computerized tomography scan. Renal arteriography confirmed the diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm in a lower pole segmental artery branch and complete occlusion was achieved with endovascular embolization.
