Methods: A 42-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with complaint of sudden onset of seizure. Her blood pressure is 210/110mmHg and mental is drowsy state. After this episode she compained of blindness for a few days. Brain MRI showed multifocal edema in bilateral occipital lobe, frontoparietal lobe. In several hypertensive work-up studies, renal doppler ultrasonography showed stenosis of right renal artery. Results: Segmental stenosis in right renal artery was demonstrated by renal angiography. We performed stent insertion in renal artery narrowing portion. Her blood pressure was maintained less than 140/80mmHg without the antihypertensive drugs.
