Wunderlich Syndrome - Unusual Complication of Spontaneous Renal Haemorrhage

A 50 year old man went to the emergency service with an unspecific abdominal pain complaint. We performed a multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) of the abdomen, with and without iodinated intravenous contrast, that showed a hypodense nodule formation with regular and well delimited outlines, few heterogeneous foci and fat density (-35 HU), sizing about 1.8 cm from the inferior pole of the left kidney (Figure 1). The patient was relieved of the pain and was discharged from hospital in the same day.
