Posttraumatic renal infarction versus tumor: a helpful angiographic finding. uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • We report a case of segmental renal infarction due to a traumatic dissecting hematoma of a renal artery branch. Some features of the cross-sectional imaging studies were atypical of infarct and suggestive of tumor. Renal arteriography demonstrated aneurysmal dilatation of an approximately 3-cm portion of a segmental renal artery, an uncommon but highly suggestive finding of traumatic arteriopathy.
