Renal artery embolization of perirenal hematoma in hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome: a case report

Korean J Radiol. 2007 Jul-Aug;8(4):348-50. doi: 10.3348/kjr.2007.8.4.348.

Abstract

Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is an acute viral disease characterized by fever, hemorrhage and renal failure. Among the various hemorrhagic complications of HFRS, spontaneous rupture of the kidney and perirenal hematoma are very rare findings. We report here on a case of HFRS complicated by massive perirenal hematoma, and this was treated with transcatheter arterial embolization.
