MDCT Findings of Bilateral Renal Cortical Necrosis: Unilateral Complete and Contralateral Limited Renal Cortical Necrosis: A Case Report
نویسنده
چکیده
of partial or complete necrosis of the renal cortex, and this usually spares a thin tissue rim under the capsule and a thicker layer adjacent to the corticomedullary junction. It typically evolves bilaterally, although a few unilateral RCN cases have been reported in patients with unilateral hydronephrosis or arterial stenosis. We encountered a case of bilateral RCN, including limited RCN in a kidney with unilateral hydronephrosis, following left sapingo-oophorectomy for treating the patient’s ovarian cancer. We report here the MDCT finding of bilateral RCN, including limited RCN in a hydronephrotic kidney.

BACKGROUND Purtscher's retinopathy and renal cortical necrosis are two rare vaso-occlusive complications of acute pancreatitis. Purtscher's retinopathy causes sudden impairment of vision, which was first reported in a patient with head trauma. Subsequently, it was also reported as a complication of acute pancreatitis and few other clinical conditions. Acute pancreatitis also rarely causes renal...
متن کاملBilateral cortical necrosis of the kidneys following snakebite.
BILATERAL cortical necrosis of the kidneys is a rare pathological lesion. It usually follows some complication of pregnancy such as eclampsia. There has been only one case report where the lesion was seen at autopsy of a patient who died of uraemia after a snakebite (Azevedo & Teixeira, 1938). Oram, Ross, Pell & Winteler (1963) have described calcification of both renal cortices in a patient wh...

Conclusions are drawn as to the mechanism that produces renal cortical calcifica...
متن کاملBilateral renal cortical necrosis associated with smoking synthetic cannabinoids
Synthetic cannabinoids have become a common drug of abuse in recent years and their toxicities have come to light as well. They are known to be notorious for the kidneys, with acute tubular necrosis, acute interstitial nephritis and rhabdomyolysis induced renal injury being the frequent nephrotoxic outcomes in users. We report a case of bilateral renal cortical necrosis, leading to irreversible...
متن کاملBisphosphonate-induced bilateral acute renal cortical necrosis
Renal cortical necrosis (RCN), a rare cause of renal failure in which there is death of the renal cortex but sparing of the medulla, is a catastrophic entity with high mortality. Its incidence and severity are higher in developing countries, mostly due to pregnancy-related complications. This paper presents the case of a 65-year-old woman who had bilateral renal cortical necrosis caused by bisp...
