  • Spontaneous renal rupture with subcapsular renal hematoma is a rare disease entity. Hereby, we report a 60-year-old female who presented with abrupt right flank pain and was diagnosed as spontaneous renal rupture with subcapsular hematoma related to urinary tract infection and review related literatures.
