Burrel M, et al. – Purpose of this study was to present radiologic findings, embolization technique, and clinical outcomes in patients with renal subcapsular hematoma and diffuse cortical hemorrhage. In the present case series, diffuse cortical hemorrhage unrelated to the site of puncture may be seen in some cases of subcapsular hematoma. Moreover, the cause is likely the laceration of transcortical capsular arteries secondary to enlargement of the subcapsular hematoma. In addition, embolization achieved hemorrhage control, but loss of renal function was observed in patients with underlying renal disease.
