TI  - Sonographic evaluation of renal artery aneurysm in childhood.
PG  - 312-3
AB  - We report a child presenting with renovascular hypertension and sonographic 
      evidence of a renal artery aneurysm (RAA). The diagnosis of RAA was made 
      sonographically by demonstrating vascular flow in an aneurysmal segment adjacent 
      to but continuous with the right renal artery and externally compressing the 
      inferior vena cava. Comparison of the sonographic studies and an abdominal 
      angiogram illustrate the sensitivity of sonography in diagnosing this condition. 
      We suggest that with renal doppler sonography, RAA may be diagnosed less 
      invasively and possibly with greater frequency yet believe that the gold standard 
      of angiography is necessary prior to surgical intervention.
