Abstract
A 16-year-old boy with the complaints of fever, abdominal pain, arthralgia and hypertension was found to have polyarteritis nodosa. Selective renal angiography disclosed a 5-mm microaneurysm of the right inferior suprarenal artery, which has not been previously reported in polyarteritis nodosa. Aside from the diagnostic viewpoint, some of the perirenal and retroperitoneal hemorrhages of unknown origin seen in polyarteritis nodosa might be due to the rupture of suprarenal artery aneurysms.
