Özet
Hypertension in childhood is a significant risk factor for the subsequent development of vascular diseases in later life. It is recommended that all children with hypertension undergo investigation for potential secondary causes. The bilateral accessory renal artery represents a rare etiological factor in the development of renovascular hypertension. We presented a hypertensive adolescent patient who was admitted to the pediatric emergency department with complaints of dizziness and dyspnea and was diagnosed with bilateral accessory renal arteries, which was a rare condition. In renal color Doppler ultrasonography, measurements of both renal arteries at the renal hilum and interlobar levels were identified as significant for diagnosing stenosis. CT angiography revealed right renal and additional accessory renal arteries. A multidisciplinary approach and individualized patient management are critical for the diagnosis and treatment of renal vascular diseases. In this case, a rare variation, bilateral accessory renal artery, was diagnosed during the investigation of hypertension etiology. It is recommended that renal CT imaging is utilized for the precise diagnosis of renal artery abnormalities in hypertensive children.
