Review Case Reports
[A case report of spontaneous renal rupture due to arteriosclerosis].
A case of spontaneous renal rupture with subcapsular hematoma was reported. The patient was a 44-year old man complaining of a sudden left flank pain without any recent history of trauma. ⋯ Therefore, left total nephro-uretectomy was performed, and histological examination revealed hemorrhage and infarct due to the severe arteriosclerosis and intestinal nephritis without malignancy. Sixty-three cases of non-traumatic subcapsular renal hematoma reported previously in the Japanese literature are reviewed with some statistical analyses.
