Case report: new sonographic finding in renal infarction.
We observed a unique sonographic finding in a patient with right global renal infarction associated with an abdominal aortic dissection. Sonography in the acute phase revealed a highly echogenic and thickened perirenal fascia without demonstrable abnormality of the renal parenchyma. This finding may be helpful in the early diagnosis of renal infarction by routine sonography.
