title: [Spontaneous subcapsular hematoma of the kidney. Report of 6 cases].
abstract: Spontaneous subcapsular haematoma (SCH) of the kidney is a rare condition, secondary to kidney tumors in more than 50% of cases. Diagnosis is suggested by sonography and confirmed by CT-scan. Renal angiography, performed in haemodynamically stable patients, shows the origin of bleeding and allows embolization. The authors report 6 cases of SCH of the kidney, one of which occurred after extra-corporeal shock-wave lithotripsy.
