Deskripsi

Spontaneous renal pelvis rupture is a rare situation. It is nearly always related to underlying renal abnor-malities caused by calculus, infection, tumor or pregnancy, resulting in hydronephrosis. In some situations, it is iatrogenic, such as fluid overload during diagnostic or therapeutic interventions. Here, we present a case of spontaneous renal pelvis rupture with no predisposing factor found.
