Spontaneous Renal Artery Dissection in Active Duty Male

Spontaneous renal artery dissection is a rare condition with nonspecific symptoms that can be challenging to diagnose. We present the case of a 25-year-old male presenting with left flank pain, mild leukocytosis, and a benign urinalysis found to have renal artery dissection on computed tomography angiogram. The patient's condition improved following conservative management with anticoagulants. This case demonstrates that Spontaneous renal artery dissection may be a potential cause of renal artery infarction in young, previously healthy patients.

Abstract

Spontaneous renal artery dissection is a rare condition with nonspecific symptoms that can be challenging to diagnose. We present the case of a 25-year-old male presenting with left flank pain, mild leukocytosis, and a benign urinalysis found to have renal artery dissection on computed tomography angiogram. The patient's condition improved following conservative management with anticoagulants. This case demonstrates that Spontaneous renal artery dissection may be a potential cause of renal artery infarction in young, previously healthy patients.
