Abstract
This article presents the case of a 28-year-old male patient with a renal infarction due to an embolizing traumatic postdissection aneurysm of a renal segmental artery. He presented with abdominal and flank pain 1.5 years after a motorcycle accident. The C‑reactive protein (CRP) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels were elevated and the diagnosis was made by computed tomography (CT) angiography. Other causes of renal infarction were excluded. After an interdisciplinary discussion we decided to use interventional coiling in this young and athletically active patient in order to avoid long-term anticoagulation.Entities:
