Tourette syndrome associated with Page kidney

Chen-Kuan Wang et al. Clin Exp Nephrol. 2021 Dec.

Abstract

Page kidney is a rare condition leading to secondary hypertension and encountered most frequently due to traumatic subcapsular hematoma. Here, we present a case of a 15-year-old boy with a history of Tourette syndrome, who had Page kidney hypertension secondary to subcapsular hematoma compression due to his self-injury behavior for many years.

Keywords: Hypertension; Page kidney; Subcapsular hematoma; Tourette syndrome.
