TOPIC DISCUSSION: Spontaneous Perinephric Hemorrhage

If you have someone who presents to you with a spontaneous renal hemorrhage, what causes come to your mind? Things to keep in your mind are:


Renal Cell Cancer
Angiomyolipoma
Abscess
Hemorrhagic cyst
Arteriovenous Malformations
Idiopathic



The above list was based on a radiology study of 18 patients where a cause was discovered ultimately by CT scan rather than Ultrasound.
