Abstract
Congenital renal arterio-venous malformation (AVM) is a rare abnormal collection of blood vessels and is usually located in the medullary region. Gross hematuria is the most common symptom. Color Doppler ultrasound is the first choice for renal AVM screening but a definitive diagnosis still requires angiography. Embolization of AVM has progressively replaced surgery for the treatment of renal AVM in recent years. Here we presented a 44 year-old woman with congenital idiopathic AVM of the kidney. She received transarterial embolization and the patient underwent an obvious symptomatic improvement.
