Objectives: Renal artery aneurysm (RAA) is a rare condition among visceral aneurysms, often asymptomatic and incidentally discovered through imaging. Surgical or interventional procedures are utilized for treatment, depending on the aneurysm's size, morphology, and the patient's physical condition, to prevent rupture.

Methods: A patient was admitted with a giant asymptomatic RAA, measuring a maximum diameter of 11 cm on a serendipitous occasion.

Results: We successfully accomplished a full embolization treatment for the aneurysm, exclusively utilizing inflow tract embolization techniques. Six months post-treatment, a follow-up abdominal ultrasound examination demonstrated a notable decrease in the aneurysm's diameter, signifying the positive outcome of our intervention.

Conclusions: This approach offers a feasible alternative in challenging cases, especially when traditional surgical methods are not feasible or carry significant risks.
