Een Ceval Van Aneurysma Dissecans Van De Arteria Renalis

SummaryA case of dissecting aneurysm of the aorta with extension into the renal artery is descrilx'd Hypertension could be explained by decreased renal blood flow secondary to dissection of aorta at the origin of renal vessels or to thrombosis of the upper branch of renal artery with compression of the lower branch.A transient rise observed in acid phosphatase serum level supported the view that this enzyme of renal origin is liberated during kidney infarction.The thoracolumbar pain is ascribed to the dissecting aneurysm itself.It is known that intercostal and lumbar arteries may be obliterated or injured during aortic dissection.
