Massive bilateral perirenal hematoma following urinary catheterization for urinary obstruction.
Urinary tract obstruction is a common problem associated with many complications. Decompression of an enlarged bladder has been associated with several complications, mainly vesicular bleeding. We report a case of a 42-year-old male patient who developed bilateral renal subcapsular hematomas secondary to relief of an extremely enlarged bladder.
