Abstract
A 6 yr old girl presented with acute hypertension and urinary tract infection. Evaluation revealed congenital absence of the inferior vena cava associated with an atrophic right kidney. A possible embryologic mechanism is proposed in an effort to relate the renal findings and vascular anomaly. Possible relationships among the urinary tract infection, hypertension and renal abnormality are discussed.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
