Hughes-Stovin Syndrome Presenting With Hematuria

Hughes-Stovin Syndrome Presenting With Hematuria CASE-LETTER Hughes-Stovin Syndrome Presenting With Hematuria his is a 48-year-old female patient who presented to the T hospital with gross hematuria and lower abdominal pain. She had no history of trauma and physical examination was normal. She underwent computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis with intravenous contrast, which showed a large left internal iliac arteriovenous aneurysm compressing the bladder.

Abstract

CASE-LETTER Hughes-Stovin Syndrome Presenting With Hematuria his is a 48-year-old female patient who presented to the T hospital with gross hematuria and lower abdominal pain. She had no history of trauma and physical examination was normal. She underwent computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis with intravenous contrast, which showed a large left internal iliac arteriovenous aneurysm compressing the bladder. Cystoscopy revealed diffuse petechial lesions throughout the bladder mucosa with mass effect, likely form the overlying pelvic aneurysm. Random biopsies of the bladder mucosa were normal. Angiography confirmed the presence of an internal iliac artery aneurysm connected to a large arteriovenous network (Figure 1, image A). Subsequently, the patient underwent a suc- cessful coiling of the internal iliac artery aneurysm.
