Congenital renal arteriovenous malformation: Diagnosis with MDCT angiography

Renal arteriyovenöz malformasyonlar nadir rastlanan hematüri nedenlerindendir. Bildiğimiz kadarıyla bugüne dek, multidetektör sıralı bilgisayarlı tomografi anjiografi kullanılarak tanısı konulan tek konjenital arteriyovenöz fistül vakasıdır. Biz arteriyovenöz malformasyon tanısı için, cerrahi veya girişimsel tedavi düşünülmediğinde renal multidetektör sıralı bilgisayarlı tomografi anjiografinin yapılması gerektiğini düşünmekteyiz.

Konjenital renal arteriyovenöz malformasyon: MDCT anjiografi ile tanısı

Renal arteriovenous malformations are a rare cause of haematuria. To the best of our knowledge, this is the only case reported so far in the diagnosis of the congenital RAVM using multidetector row computed tomography angiography. We suggest that when surgical or interventional theraphy is not considered, renal multidetector row computed tomography angiography should be performed to diagnosis of the AVM.
