Renal artery stenosis due to neurofibromatosis

Ishwar Chandra Malav et al. Ann Pediatr Cardiol. 2009 Jul.

Abstract

A 4-year-old boy with hypertension due to renal artery stenosis and neurofibromatosis type 1 is presented for its rarity. Renal artery stenosis due to neurofibromatosis is underrecognized and may masquerade Takayasu's arteritis in Asian children.

Keywords: Neurofibromatosis type 1; percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty; renovascular hypertension.
