[Congenital renal arteriovenous fistula treated with embolization].

We report on a patient with congenital renal arteriovenous fistula whose only clinical manifestation was hematuria. The diagnosis was confirmed by arteriography and treatment was by percutaneous embolization. Hematuria resolved immediately after treatment and most of the renal parenchyma was preserved. The patient has moderate arterial hypertension as a sequela, although it is currently controlled by drug therapy.
