A case of spontaneous rupture of kidney associated with multiple renal stones during pregnancy / 대한비뇨기과학회지

ABSTRACT

Spontaneous rupture of kidney is a rare condition which usually presents as an acute abdomen requiring prompt diagnostic evaluation and proper therapy. We experienced a 27-year-old pregnant woman hospitalized with complaint of right flank pain. Ultrasonography and DIP (shield lower abdomen) revealed multiple sandy renal stones and right caliectasis with extravasation of contrast media through renal fornices into perirenal space. We present a case of spontaneous rupture of kidney associated with multiple renal stones during pregnancy, successfully managed with temporary insertion of ureteral catheter.
