Abstract:

This case involves an 11-year-old boy with no past medical history who presents with a newonset seizure and was found to have an elevated Blood Pressure (BP) of 132/90 in the emergency department. The patient’s mother reported that he has been experiencing right-sided abdominal pain and throbbing headaches for 1 week. In the emergency department, a Computed Tomography (CT) angiogram of the abdomen and pelvis was performed and highlighted significant right renal artery stenosis, right renal atrophy, and delayed parenchymal enhancement of the right kidney. Subsequent renal angiography with balloon angioplasty successfully restored perfusion to the right kidney with follow-up imaging showing significant improvement in parenchymal enhancement. This case report discusses the rare presentation of seizure as the initial manifestation of pediatric renal artery stenosis.
