McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) is a non-inherited disorder due to the GNAS1 gene mutation. The syndrome is characterized with the triad of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, pigmented skin lesions, endocrinopathy, and precocious puberty. ⋯ MRI provided more directly perceived images and it was more sensitive in demonstrating the lesion: its shape, contents, especially the size of the affected region. Histopathological study and the identification of mutant gene finally confirmed the diagnostic result.

Renal infarction results from occlusion of the main renal artery or its distal branches. The clinical picture depends on the extent and the rapidity of the occlusion. ⋯ The key-modality is computed tomography. Because of the limited warm ischemia time of the kidneys (1.5 hours?) and the time required for diagnosis, there is no real therapeutic relevance in most cases.
