[Spontaneous rupture of the kidney. Apropos of a case of Kussmaul-Meier panarteritis nodosa].
A patient with periarteritis nodosa presented with purely intra-abdominal visceral manifestations. This form of the affection, in the absence of subcutaneous granulomas allowing histologic examination, can be revealed only by celiac and renal angiography, results being pathognomonic. As a function of the organ involved the clinical picture can be dramatic, with rupture of parenchymatous organs affecting vital prognosis and requiring immediate surgery.
