Abstract
Renal artery aneurysm is defined as the dilated segment of renal artery exceeding twice the diameter of the normal renal artery. As more than half of such aneurysms have the annular calcification, they must be differentiated from the stones. Differential diagnosis of the renal artery aneurysm includes the parapelvical cysts, hydronephrosis and kidney tumors. Renal artery aneurysm can be diagnosed by CT, MRI, as well by ultrasonography and color dopplerography. Unfortunately presence of calcification renders the ultrasonographic examination impossible. In this article we share our own experience of two cases of calcified renal aneurysms diagnosed and treated at our hospital.
