Abstract
Reports of Ask-Upmark kidney, initially described as a congenital defect in renal development, are uncommon. We report a case with the features of bilateral asymmetrical segmental atrophy in a patient with childhood-onset hypertension. As an adult, she developed cerebral, celiac, and renal artery aneurysms. She underwent successful clipping of the cerebral aneurysm and renal artery repair with preservation of renal function. Novel radiologic techniques make possible the noninvasive diagnosis of segmental atrophy and its complications.Entities:
