Abstract

Arteriovenous Malformation is a rare condition which represents gross hematuria, bladder tamponade and flank pain. On IVP it shows cobble stone deformity of calyx, infundibulum and pelvis, and for the definitive diagnosis renal angiography is the most helpful method. Treatment of arteriovenous malformation can be obtained with conservative treatment, selective tracscatheter embolization and surgical procedures including nephrectomy, partial nephrectomy and others. Here, we report one case of arteriovenous malformation combined with massive hematuria and left flank pain treated with nephrectomy following selective tracscatheter embolization.
