Abstract:
A 45-years-old woman complained mild right flank pain and easy fatigability. Right abdominal bruit was heard by auscultation. CT and angiography revealed a huge venous dilatation in renal sinus measuring 10.2cm in diameter. And similar findings were shown in MRI. We performed nephrectomy and confirmed arteriovenous fistula in main renal artery and vein.
