CASE 796: INTRARENAL AVM, Dr PHAN THANH HẢI, Dr LÊ VĂN TÀI, MEDIC MEDICAL CENTER, HCMC, VIETNAM.

 A 47 year-old woman with lumbago for 7 months but without hematuria. She doubted that may due to  practice belly twirling.

Ultrasound detected incidentally an upper pole renal cystic lesion # 13x23mm in B mode with aliasing sign on Doppler ultrasound.  RI = 0.3-0.5 and V= 130-230 cm/sec. It maybe an intrarenal AVM.


MSCT confirmed an intrarenal AVM that created an intrarenal aneurysm and managed stenting successfully the AVM.




Doppler ultrasound could differentialize an intrarenal aneurysm from a renal cystic lesion while B mode ultrasound could not to do.
