Abstract
Secondary hypertension is more common in children than adults, and renal disease is the
most common cause. Several studies have shown a relationship between abnormalities
in renal arterial vascularity and the onset of hypertension. We reported a case of
hypertension in a 10-year-old girl with elevated plasma renin and normal aldosterone
levels. Antihypertensive therapy was necessary to achieve blood pressure control, and
the final diagnosis of hypertension was obtained from Computed Tomography (CT)
angiography demonstrating unusual renal vascular abnormalities.
