A Case of Intraparenchymal Pseudoaneurysms in Kidney Allograft
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND Percutaneous needle biopsy is routinely performed for renal allograft management. Vascular complications of the procedure include pseudoaneurysm and arterio-venous fistulae formation. Delayed diagnosis of these complications is due to their mostly asymptomatic and indolent nature. CASE REPORT We present a case of extensive intraparenchymal pseudoaneurysm formation within the inferior pole of the allograft, diagnosed two years following the most recent biopsy procedure. CONCLUSIONS Renal pseudoaneurysms may only be diagnosed years after their formation as they are typically asymptomatic.

Pseudoaneurysm with severe haematuria in renal allograft after renal biopsy treated by percutaneous embolization.
A 61-year-old lady received a cadaveric renal transplant in March 1996. On the seventh post-operative day, a renal allograft biopsy was performed under ultrasound guidance. The patient developed severe haematuria requiring a 2-U blood transfusion. Duplex scanning demonstrated a pseudoaneurysm (2.532.9 cm) at the upper pole of the kidney (Figure 1). Arteriography demonstrated two pseudoaneurysms...

Abstract The Intraparenchymal schwannomas are very rare tumors with only 52 reported cases . We describe a 38 years old man with eight months history of poorly controlled seizures despite of medical therapy. On brain CT scan a 1.5 x 1.5 cm hypodense enhancing lesion was seen in right posterior-inferior frontal lobe. On brain MRI the lesion was hypointense in T1 and hyperintense in T...
متن کاملArteriovenous malformation in a kidney allograft
Arteriovenous aneurysms may be congenital (arteriovenous malformation, AVM) or acquired (arteriovenous fistula, AVF). AVFs after a renal transplant biopsy are seldom, but well recognized, usually harmless complications [1]. Congenital AVMs are usually of the cirsoid (racemose) type [2], characterized by a tangle of tortuous vessels of small diameter, with multiple varix-like communications betw...
متن کاملRegulatory T Cell Subtypes and TGF-β1 Gene Expression in Chronic Allograft Dysfunction
Background: Regulatory T cells have been suggested to have a protective role against acute rejection in allograft recipients. However, there is little information available about their contribution to chronic rejection process. The role of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF- β1) as a profibrogenic and/or immunoregulatory cytokine in renal allografts is also controversial. Objectives: To eva...

Background: Anti-HLA-antibodies are known to affect the allograft survival in transplant recipient patients. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between anti-HLA antibodies and kidney allograft outcomes, particularly in recipients with concur-rent donor bone marrow cell infusion (DBMI). Methods: Between June 2006 and May 2007, forty living unrelated donor kidney tra...
