| Abstract |
|
Recently, we experienced a case of renovascular hypertension in 7 year-old boy, who came with
chief complaints of protracted vomiting and severe headache for 2 days. Right after admission, he
developed seizure and loss of consciousness lasting 5 minutes. Blood pressure was 230/180 mmHg at
that time. Diagnostic studies were done with plasma renin activity, rapid sequence pyelography and
arteriography, which showed severe focal narrowing of left renal artery. Following successful
percutaneous translumunal angioplasty, peripheral plasma re in activity became normal and blood
pressure dropped markedly. Since then the patient has been treated with either captopil-beta blocker
or captopril-diuretics with good result.
We report the case with brief review of literatures. |
