Spontaneous suburothelial hemorrhage is a rare process of unclear pathologic etiology, although it has been associated with bleeding diathesis and anticoagulation. The most common clinical presentation is acute onset flank pain and macroscopic hematuria. On imaging, there is a mural thickening of the renal pelvis and upper ureters leading to luminal narrowing. Despite luminal narrowing, hydronephrosis has only rarely been reported in the association. The imaging finding of mural thickening has led to the misdiagnosis as malignancy, resulting in unnecessary nephrectomy. Suburothelial hemorrhage can be unilateral or bilateral, although the majority of reported cases are unilateral. We present a case of a patient with bilateral spontaneous suburothelial hemorrhage with forniceal rupture and spontaneous retroperitoneal hemorrhage, a unique triad compared to prior cases presented in the literature.

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is an abnormality of the proximal femoral physis typically occurring in adolescents and most commonly associated with obesity, although its exact etiology is unknown. In addition to obesity, other associations and predisposing factors proposed in the literature include trauma, vascular injury or compromise, and immunologic, genetic, and metabolic conditions. While not common, metabolic conditions are known to predispose to SCFE and it is essential for radiologists to recognize SCFE as a possible initial presentation of an underlying metabolic disorder. Understanding imaging findings and identification of atypical presentations of SCFE by radiologists can assist clinicians in guiding workup and lead to expedited treatment to prevent worsening outcomes associated with developmental delay.
