Abstract
Congenital arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the kidney is a rare condition. Rupture of an AVM in the kidney may cause hematuria, flank pain, and urinary retention due to clots. We report 2 cases of congenital renal AVM. Both were treated with transcatheter renal arterial embolization. The signs and symptoms disappeared after embolization. On follow-up, renal function testing with a DMSA scan revealed only focal loss of renal cortical function. The clinical courses of 2 cases are reported and the literature is reviewed.
