AbstractOvarian arterial haemorrhage (OAH), a rare cause of spontaneous retroperitoneal hematoma (SRH), usually occurs in women during pregnancy or in those with a history of repeated pregnancies. The clinical manifestations of OAH are non-specific; hence, proper and timely imaging examinations are extremely important. Contrast Enhanced CT scan is the first choice for clarifying the cause of haemorrhage in patients with SRH. Trans-arterial embolisation (TAE) has become the most common treatment option for OAH. Here, we report a case of SRH in the left ovarian artery region in a patient with a congenital solitary kidney. The patient was initially misdiagnosed as left kidney haemorrhage which was successfully embolised with tissue glue. There are no previous reports of OAH in patients with a congenital solitary kidney. Key Words: Ovarian artery, Spontaneous retroperitoneal hematoma, Congenital solitary kidney, Trans-arterial embolization.
