Imaging findings of spontaneous bilateral renal artery dissection.
Bilateral spontaneous renal artery dissection is extremely rare with computed tomography angiography being an efficient noninvasive alternative to catheter angiography for its diagnosis. We report the case of a 65-year-old woman with bilateral spontaneous renal artery dissection resulting in bilateral renal infarctions and hydroureteronephrosis.
