Herein we report a case of bilateral non-traumatic retroperitoneal hemorrhage.</p> <p>Case presentation</p> <p>A 50-year-old Greek man, who was on a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (nimesulide) for ankylosing spondylitis, presented with a right retroperitoneal hematoma combined with contralateral subcapsular renal hematoma. Bleeding on his right side was successfully controlled by arterial embolization with coils, whereas the left renal hematoma was treated conservatively.

The application of minimally invasive techniques resulted in the desired positive outcome with preservation of both renal units.</p> |
