PubMed(2023)
摘要
Wunderlich syndrome (WS) or spontaneous renal haemorrhage is a rare and life-threatening condition often leading to haemorrhagic shock. WS is characterized by an acute onset of non-traumatic subcapsular and perirenal haematoma formation due to several causes, including neoplasms, cystic rupture, vasculitis, coagulopathies, and infections. The classical presentation includes acute flank or abdominal pain, a palpable flank mass and hypovolemic shock (Lenk's triad). Nausea, vomiting, fever, and haematuria can also be present. Computed tomography angiography is mandatory to localize the source of haemorrhage. Super-selective embolization can be performed to stop bleeding, while surgery is reserved to haemodynamic unstable patients and neoplastic cases. We describe a case of WS in a 79-year-old male patient, who rapidly developed hypovolemic shock requiring urgent nephrectomy.
