Abstract:
Spontaneous renal haemorrhage or Wünderlich syndrome is a rare condition; it is however of great significance given the emergency, sometimes vital, situation that it creates. The etiology of the condition is varied, the most frequent being tumoral. The clinical manifestations and the use of imaging techniques are of great interest to establish the diagnosis. The choice treatment is controversial. This paper presents eight cases of Wünderlich syndromes seen in our urology service. The background, etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods and treatment used in each case are analyzed.
