Abstract

An 11-month-old girl presented with a history of failure to thrive, vomiting, polydipsia, polyuria and visual inattention. She was found to have malignant hypertension due to unilateral renal artery stenosis. This was successfully treated with percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty. Nearly 10 years following this initial presentation, she remains normotensive on no anti-hypertensive medications.
