Bilateral Wünderlich Syndrome Caused by Spontaneous Rupture of Renal Angiomyolipomas

Bilateral Wünderlich Syndrome Caused by Spontaneous Rupture of Renal Angiomyolipomas

Wünderlich syndrome (WS) is a urological emergency characterized by retroperitoneal hemorrhage. In most cases, bleeding occurs from a renal angiomyolipoma (AML) and may be the first manifestation of the disease. We report a female patient with bilateral WS due to the metachronous rupture of renal AM...

In most cases, bleeding occurs from a renal angiomyolipoma (AML) and may be the first manifestation of the disease. We report a female patient with bilateral WS due to the metachronous rupture of renal AMLs. Because the patient was stable and the tumor was not malignant, treatment was conservative. Follow-up revealed the full recovery of kidney function and the resolution of the hematoma.http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2015/316956
