  • Title: A giant renal artery aneurysm diagnosed post partum.
    Author: Pliskin MJ, Dresner ML, Hassell LH, Gusz JR, Balkin PW, Lerud KS, Larson AW.
    Journal: J Urol; 1990 Dec; 144(6):1459-61. PubMed ID: 2231943.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of a 5.8 cm. right renal artery aneurysm diagnosed intact 8 weeks post partum. Rupture of a renal arterial aneurysm during pregnancy is a rare but well described catastrophic event. There are no previous reports of an intact renal artery aneurysm diagnosed either ante partum or post partum. To our knowledge, this also represents the largest reported renal artery aneurysm. The aneurysm was repaired successfully with kidney salvage and closure of the fistulous connection to the renal vein.
