Abstract

Aneurysmal disease affecting the aorta and visceral vessels in young patients is uncommon and typically associated with connective tissue disorders. We describe the case of a 17-year-old girl who presented with acute onset of abdominal pain; computed tomography scan revealed aortic and bilateral renal artery aneurysms and a perirenal hematoma. She was taken to the angiography suite; rupture of the right renal artery aneurysm was identified and immediately treated successfully with coil embolization. The left renal artery aneurysm was repaired with ex-vivo renal autotransplantation; 2 years later, the aorta and right renal artery underwent surgical reconstruction.
