Renal AV Malformation (AVM) CT Findings
- Simultaneous opacification of renal arteries and the draining vein
- Best seen typically on arterial phase imaging and poorly seen on excretory phase imaging
- Can be due to trauma (e.g. stab wound, GSW) or be congenital in origin
- Can present clinically with hematuria
