The authors report their experience of 20 cases of renal artery stenosis in children, seen over the last ten years. The stenosis was latent in 8 of the 20 cases and was usually discovered during investigation for headaches or a complication of hypertension. The search for a renal cause involved the
Takayasu arteritis is a rare but intractable chronic disease in young female patients. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of the involved renal arteries has been reported; however, few studies have reported the use of drug coated balloon angioplasty in the treatment of Takayasu A 35-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with the following complaints, headache, sweating, anxiety, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and severe hypertension. The technical images (abdominal CT, scintigraphic octreotide scan and renal arteriography) revealed the presence of a left adrenal
Pheochromocytomas have been described to be associated with rare vascular abnormalities, most common of them being renal artery stenosis. A 45-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with complaints of headache, sweating, anxiety, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and severe hypertension. Hypertension
A 63-year-old male was diagnosed as having chronic phase CML in 2001. He obtained a major molecular response with imatinib (IM). In 2012, amulodipin was started for hypertension. In January 2013, IM was switched to nilotinib (NIL) in a clinical trial, and in February 2015, NIL was discontinued
BACKGROUND
Although renovascular hypertension is a rare disease, it is associated with 5-10% of cases of childhood hypertension. It is a potentially treatable cause of hypertension, and is often caused by renal artery stenosis (RAS). The most common cause of RAS in children is fibromuscular
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is characterized clinically by headache, altered mental status, visual loss, and seizures. PRES is associated with neuroradiological findings characterized by white matter abnormalities, predominantly in the parieto-occipital regions of the brain.
BACKGROUND
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a relatively common autosomal dominant disorder. The most common vascular abnormality in patients with NF1 is bilateral or unilateral renal artery stenosis.
METHODS
A 16-year-old boy presented with a headache of 4-year duration and was found to be
A 22-year-old female, was referred with a history of a headache and elevated blood pressure without family history of hypertension or familial dyslipidemia. Initially, a spiral computed tomographic angiography of the renal arteries was conducted, demonstrating completely abnormal left renal artery
We present the case of a 21-year-old man who developed a renal artery pseudoaneurysm following a 7-foot fall onto his back. He initially presented with gross hematuria, left flank pain, and back pain. He was observed in the hospital for 3 days and discharged. One week later, he was readmitted with
Renal arteriogram can be obtained by a rapid injection (15-22 ml/s) of a venous bolus of 2-3 ml/kg B.W. of contrast media at 38 p. 100 and followed by an excretory pyelography with early films and wash out by furosemide to determine the functional significance of an eventual stenosis in a
BACKGROUND
Pediatric patients with Takayasu arteritis were studied by analyzing clinical presentation, diagnostic images, response to multimodal therapy, and long-term outcome.
METHODS
Fourteen consecutive children and adolescents (mean age: 10 years) were diagnosed with Takayasu arteritis at our
Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is associated with increased cardiovascular mortality and morbidity and may constitute a treatable cause of secondary hypertension. Fibromuscular dysplasia is frequently affecting children as the main cause of RAS, but is very rare in adults. We present the case of a
BACKGROUND
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) is an autosomal dominant, hereditary, neurocutaneous syndrome that may primarily or secondarily, affect different organs or systems of the body including the cardiovascular system. The most common vascular abnormality in patients with NF-1 is renal artery
This case reports a young child having uncontrolled hypertension, resulting from bilateral renal artery stenosis due to fibromuscular dysplasia presenting with abdominal pain, headache and visual disturbance. Diagnostic features and management is discussed.
