Massive peri-renal haemorrhage from ruptured renal artery aneurysm in the presence of normal renal function.
A 65-year-old man presented acutely with a large right peri-nephric haematoma as seen on a CT scan. Intravenous urography demonstrated normal function. An arteriogram later revealed a 1 cm renal artery tributary aneurysm, which was successfully embolized.
