AB  - The renal artery aneurysm (RAA) is defined as a renal artery segment that is 
      twofold dilated than normally. It is very rare in children and often 
      asymptomatic. However, it can cause severe hypertension (HTN) and kidney failure. 
      Herein, we report a 14-year-old boy who with RAA which was presented with back 
      pain. His medical history was remarkable for essential HTN that was refractory to 
      antihypertensive medications. Plain abdominal radiography revealed calcification 
      at the right flank area. On computed tomography images, calcification surrounding 
      the right renal artery was detected. Selective renal angiography showed totally 
      occluded right renal artery segment. Calcified RAA was detected on the operation 
      and removed. Two months after, blood pressure was under control, but there was no 
      functioning right kidney on DMSA. We think that clinicians should keep in mind 
      RAA in the differential diagnosis of treatment-resistant HTN and use other 
      radiologic methods even if Doppler is normal.
