Renal artery aneurysm is a relatively uncommon condition that is usually detected incidentally after an imaging workup. A renal artery aneurysm is defined as a dilated segment of renal artery that exceeds twice the diameter of a normal renal artery. Symptomatic renal artery aneurysms can cause hypertension, pain, hematuria, and renal infarction. Asymptomatic renal artery aneurysms may seem benign, but the potential for rupture and fistulization increases with size. In this report we describe the treatment strategy of saccular renal artey aneurysm in a 47-year-old man who presented with flank pain

Anahtar Kelimeler

Renal artery; aneurysm; flank pain.

Sakküler Renal Arter Anevrizmasının Cerrahi Onarımı

Öz

Renal arter anevrizmaları nadir görülür ve sıklıkla değişik amaçlı yapılan incelemelerde rastlantısal olarak saptanır. Renal arter segmentinin çapı normal çapın %50'sinden fazla genişlediğinde renal arter anevrizma olarak tanımlanır. Renal arter anevrizması, hipertansiyon, ağrı, hematüri ve parankimal renal infarkta bağlı semptomlarla ortaya çıkabilir. Asemptomatik olan hastaların prognozu daha iyi seyretse de, çapı arttıkça rüptür ve fistül riski artmaktadır. Yazımızda 47 yaşında bir erkek hastanın, yan ağrısı araştırılması sırasında saptanan sakküler renal arter anevrizmasının başarılı cerrahi onarımını sunuyoruz.

Anahtar Kelimeler

Renal arter; anevrizma; yan ağrı.
