Spontaneous renal artery dissection (SRAD) is a rare event, and thus may be a challenge for physicians to diagnose and treat. We report a case of SRAD in a healthy 56-year-old male who presented with flank pain, fever, and elevated white blood cell count. The patient was initially diagnosed with nephrolithiasis versus pyelonephritis and was admitted for observation. Multiple imaging modalities, including non-contrast computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with gadolinium, CT angiogram, and intraoperative angiogram, were used to make the final diagnosis of SRAD. The patient was treated with endovascular stent placement and is currently free of pain with normal laboratory values and blood pressure.
自发性肾动脉夹层(SRAD)是一种罕见的病症,因此对医生而言,其诊断和治疗可能具有挑战性。我们报告了一例56岁健康男性的SRAD病例,该患者表现为胁腹疼痛、发热和白细胞计数升高。患者最初被诊断为肾结石与肾盂肾炎,随后入院观察。通过多种成像方式,包括非增强计算机断层扫描(CT)、钆增强磁共振成像(MRI)、CT血管造影和术中血管造影,最终确诊为SRAD。该患者接受了血管内支架置入治疗,目前已无疼痛,实验室检查值和血压均正常。
