Abstract

Abstract

Renal artery aneurysms (RAAs) are uncommon. RAA is generally an incidental finding; however, in certain instances, it may be a devastating pathology. This is particularly true in case of pregnant females where the incidence of rupture is high if untreated, with high mortality rates for both the mother and the fetus. Early intervention in this particular high-risk group is advocated.
