Spontaneous subcapsular renal hematoma: A case report and review of literature

Ramen Kumar Baishya et al. Urol Ann. 2011 Jan.

Abstract

Spontaneous subcapsular renal hematoma is not a common entity. We report a 38-year-old lady presenting with sudden onset right flank pain with uncontrolled hypertension and she was found to have subcapsular collection in the right kidney on ultrasonography. Finding was confirmed on computed tomography. Except hypertension, no particular cause for the condition could be found. Symptoms and size of the collection decreased on conservative treatment. They completely disappeared on ultrasonography at 6 months follow-up. She was asymptomatic at 18 months follow-up.

Keywords: Subcapsular; renal hematoma; spontaneous renal rupture.
