Abstract EN
The Page kidney is a rare phenomenon.
External renal parenchymal compression is the culprit.
We report two cases of young males with flank pain, renal mass, and hypertension with history of blunt abdominal trauma.
Initially, hypertension was controlled by angiotensinconverting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors but gradually became refractory to medical treatment.
Laparoscopic nephrectomy was performed in both patients.
We emphasize the Page kidney as a cause of hypertension in young patients, presenting with flank pain and renal mass with or without complications of hypertension.
Management is aimed to control blood pressure by ACE inhibitors, aspiration of the hematoma, open hematoma evacuation, or nephrectomy.
