MUKENDI, Alain M. et al. Renal arteriovenous malformation: An unusual pathology. S. Afr. J. radiol. (Online) [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.1, pp.1-5. ISSN 2078-6778.  https://doi.org/10.4102/sajr.v23i1.1704.

Renal arteriovenous malformations are rare renal vascular abnormalities. More commonly, the term refers to the congenital type of malformation. Only a few cases have ever been presented and reported in the literature, mostly with a nidus. We present the clinical, ultrasound and computed tomography findings and discuss the management related to a 63-year-old male with a right congenital renal arteriovenous malformation without a nidus that was successfully managed with coil embolisation. Relevant literature is hereby reviewed to highlight characteristic imaging and appropriate treatment.

Palabras clave : Renal vascular malformations; congenital renal arteriovenous fistula; vascular nidus; coil embolisation; endovascular management.
