Primary renal vein aneurysm rupture-case report of a catastrophic entity

Renal vein aneurysms (RVA)s are uncommon entities, which are usually incidental findings or may cause mild non specific symptoms. Modern radiological imaging, mainly multi slice computerized tomography (CT), has substantially contributed to a prompt and accurate diagnosis. Treatment may range from watchful waiting to aneurysmorraphy, aneurysmectomy and nephrectomy. Potential complications include thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, pressure to other structures and rupture.Case: A 58-year-old male patient was admitted at the Emergency Department with abdominal pain.
