    AbstractSpontaneous renal artery dissection is a rare condition with nonspecific symptoms that can be challenging to diagnose. We present the case of a 25-year-old male presenting with left flank pain, mild leukocytosis, and a benign urinalysis found to have renal artery dissection on computed tomography angiogram. The patient's condition improved following conservative management with anticoagulants. This case demonstrates that Spontaneous renal artery dissection may be a potential cause of renal artery infarction in young, previously healthy patients.© The Association of Military Surgeons of the United States 2024.
