This article presents the case of a 28-year-old male patient with a renal infarction due to an embolizing traumatic postdissection aneurysm of a renal segmental artery. He presented with abdominal and flank pain 1.5 years after a motorcycle accident. ⋯ Other causes of renal infarction were excluded. After an interdisciplinary discussion we decided to use interventional coiling in this young and athletically active patient in order to avoid long-term anticoagulation.
