Wunderlich syndrome, spontaneous ruptured renal angiomyolipoma and tuberous sclerosis

Spontaneous renal rupture caused by factor VII deficiency: A case report

RATIONALE

Spontaneous renal rupture is an uncommon disease, it usually occurs after upper urinary calculi-related operation treatment or renal tumor. This disease caused by factor VII deficiency has rarely reported.

PATIENT CONCERNS

A 49-year-old woman came to our hospital with on the left flank pain and gross hematuria that had persisted for 10 days. The patient had no recent history of waist and abdominal trauma or surgical history recently.

DIAGNOSES

An outside computed tomography (CT) examination revealed left renal rupture before arriving at our hospital, but she was not treated. Further laboratory examination revealed that the patient condition was turned out to be hemophilia caused by factor VII deficiency.

INTERVENTION

We have used both internal and external drainage methods, and supplemented with coagulation factor.

OUTCOME

After 9 months of follow-up, it was observed that the left renal hematoma and urinary extravasation was completely absorbed.

LESSONS

Spontaneous renal rupture for hemophilia is a clinical emergency. When spontaneous renal rupture is associated with abnormal coagulation function, and the coagulation function cannot be corrected by conventional treatment, the possibility of hemophilia needs to be considered, and the type of hemophilia needs to be further defined. This case indicates a successful resolution of spontaneous renal rupture, it can provide guiding value for our clinical practice.

Wunderlich Syndrome Associated With Angiomyolipomas

Wünderlich syndrome (WS) is a spontaneous retroperitoneal hemorrhage confined to the subcapsular or perinephric space without a history of trauma. Since it is a rare condition with a significant mortality rate if not treated timely, it is essential to identify its risk factors and early clinical manifestations for a favorable outcome. Various conditions are associated, but the most common causes are benign and malignant renal neoplasms. We present a 26-year-old female with a history of tonic-clonic seizures who presented to the ED with intense abdominal pain located on the right flank with a palpable mass. Management included IV fluids and blood transfusion. She underwent a right total nephrectomy. She was later diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis. A 44-year-old female with a three-year history of right costovertebral pain and recurrent urinary tract infections that presented to the ED with acute right flank pain was diagnosed with WS secondary to an angiomyolipoma and underwent right total nephrectomy. WS is a very rare pathology that represents a diagnostic challenge for the physician. The treatment will depend on the hemodynamic condition of the patient. Active follow-up should be reserved for those who have small tumors, are asymptomatic, and have hemodynamic stability. Surgical or radiology intervention is reserved for those who are hemodynamically unstable or who have a suspicion of renal cell carcinoma.
