A Case of Spontaneous Atraumatic Renal Bleeding (Wunderlich Syndrome)

We present an uncommon case of atraumatic spontaneous renal hemorrhage in a 72-year-old woman with a background of atrial fibrillation on edoxaban who presented with a sudden onset of left abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, lethargy, and dizziness. Cross-sectional imaging was performed and confirmed an ongoing renal bleed. She had a trial of conservative management; however, repeated imaging showed an ongoing, slow but active renal arterial bleed; hence, she underwent an embolization procedure. On-table angiogram revealed pseudoaneurysms in the upper and lower poles of the kidney, for which she underwent successful renal artery embolization.

Abstract

We present an uncommon case of atraumatic spontaneous renal hemorrhage in a 72-year-old woman with a background of atrial fibrillation on edoxaban who presented with a sudden onset of left abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, lethargy, and dizziness. Cross-sectional imaging was performed and confirmed an ongoing renal bleed. She had a trial of conservative management; however, repeated imaging showed an ongoing, slow but active renal arterial bleed; hence, she underwent an embolization procedure. On-table angiogram revealed pseudoaneurysms in the upper and lower poles of the kidney, for which she underwent successful renal artery embolization.
