Microaneurysms in renal arteries are typical for polyarteritis nodosa. If polyarteritis nodosa is suspected in the diagnosis, angiographic studies, though invasive, planned toward the affected organ may help make a definite diagnosis.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Poliarteritis nodosa, çocuklarda nadir görülmekte ve çok farklı klinik tablolar ile karşımıza gelebilmektedir. Tipik cilt bulgularının varlığında tanı daha kolay konulabilir, ancak cilt tutulumu yoksa tanı zorlaşmaktadır. Özellikle renal arterlerde mikroanevrizmalar tipiktir. Eğer poliarteritis nodosa tanısı düşünülüyor ise, etkilediği organa yönelik yapılacak anjiyografik incelemeler invaziv olmasına rağmen tanı koydurucu olabilmektedir. Çocukluk çağında poliarteritis nodosa nadir görülmesi ve tanısının nispeten zor olması nedeni ile 12 yaşındaki bu olgu sunulmuştur.
