[Idiopathic renal vein thrombosis. About two cases].
Renal vein thrombosis is a rare pathology difficult to diagnose. It has quite various clinical expressions and biological consequences. The diagnosis is based upon radiologic explorations. This entity may have various causes. Detecting this condition may lead to restoration of renal function compromised by renal vein thrombosis. The treatment of renal vein thrombosis is mainly medical and based on anticoagulants. The role of fibrinolytic treatment is controversial. Surgery is exceptional. We report two cases of idiopathic thrombosis of the renal vein in adult patient. Also, we have done a review of the literature on this clinical syndrome and its diagnostic and therapeutic aspects.
