Renal artery stenosis leading to renal damage is not uncommon among patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm and has been identified in 20-38% of patients with aortic disease. In otherwise normal renal arteries, a thrombus at the origin of the artery may decrease the renal blood flow, leading to renal colic and kidney impairment. We report a rare case of a patient with renal symptoms associated with dissecting aortic aneurysm, with thrombus at the level of the origin of an otherwise normal right renal artery.
