The hypertension of the adult subject remains idiopathic in most cases, but the discovery of abnormalities in the standard workup should lead to the search for secondary cause. Among them hypoplasia of the renal arteries which remains a rare disease. It is characterized by hypotrophy of tubular appearance of these arteries; its clinical consequences are derived from the intrarenal hemodynamic repercussions. Its diagnostic approach is complex and requires the availability of angiography to determine the features of the renal vessels. The following case illustrates the diagnostic process of a 50-year-old man suffering from hypertension since the age of 45 years with renal failure revealing hypoplasia of the right renal artery with hypotrophy of the right kidney.
