Zusammenfassung:Abstract A 14.5-year-old girl with Fraley's syndrome, which caused left flank pain and massive haematuria with anaemia underwent left renal surgery. The infundibulum for the left upper calyx group was entrapped between the lower segmental renal artery and one branch of the renal vein. Despite other known surgical procedures, the surgeon explored the area around the entrapped infundibulum and resected the vein. Impression of the infundibulum disappeared, the dilatation of the upper calyces diminished, the pain was immediately relieved, and the haematuria stopped. In the two-year follow-up period the patient remained healthy, without haematuria or a subjective feeling of illness. The surgical treatment performed was successful, and it is also one of the most nephron-sparing procedures available.
