Figures

Figure 1
Figure 1
a A contrast enhanced computed tomography scan shows a wedge-shaped area of hypoattenuation throughout the parenchyma of the right kidney ( arrow ) with perinephric stranding. b The left kidney shows an evolved lower pole infarction with cortical retraction ( arrow ). The right kidney wedge-shaped hypoattenuation remains.
Figure 2
Figure 2
a Angiography of the right renal artery shows a major branch supplying the upper pole has a focal dissection evidenced by a linear filling defect (arrow). In addition, there are post-dissection luminal filling irregularities, anuerysmal dilatation, and occlusion of the false lumen. b Angiography of the left renal artery reveals a focal dissection flap (small arrow) in a main artery supplying the inferior pole. In addition, there is post-dissection anuerysmal dilatation and distal occlusion of false lumen (large arrow).
