title: Right renal infarction: a new case report.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To present a new case of renal infarction.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report the case of an 84-year-old woman presenting with right flank colic pain of 24 hours of evolution and past history of acute myocardial  infarction four months before.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Renal infarction is a rare condition; in most of the cases it does not show specific symptoms and usually overlap with other more common urologic procedures, which results in a delay in diagnosis and treatment. The most conclusive imaging tests are  i.v contrast CT scan or Doppler ultrasound but definitive diagnosis is achieved by angiography or CT angiography. Treatment is conservative, with parenteral  and oral anticoagulation; invasive management is rare.
