“…In our case, a splenic vein thrombosis following abdominal compression and vibration and an isolated renal vein thrombosis after blunt trauma were reported. 8,9 An anticoagulant therapy resulted in a complete regression of RVT in 50 days in our patient without any complication. Sickle cell disease can cause renal damage, but sickle cell trait has not been reported so far to cause RVT or other renal damages.…”

“…The sensitivity and specificity of contrast-enhanced MR venography for diagnosis of renal vein thrombosis have been shown to be similar to those of CT (61). Trauma-induced renal vein thrombosis almost invariably manifests with additional renal artery or parenchymal injury (Fig 18) (62,63).…”

A wide range of clinically important anatomic variants and pathologic conditions may affect the renal vasculature, and radiologists have a pivotal role in the diagnosis and management of these processes. Because many of these entities may not be suspected clinically, renal artery and vein assessment is an essential application of all imaging modalities. An understanding of the normal vascular anatomy is essential for recognizing clinically important anatomic variants. An understanding of the protocols used to optimize imaging modalities also is necessary. Renal artery stenosis is the most common cause of secondary hypertension and is diagnosed by using both direct ultrasonographic (US) findings at the site of stenosis and indirect US findings distal to the stenosis. Fibromuscular dysplasia, while not as common as atherosclerosis, remains an important cause of renal artery hypertension, especially among young female individuals. Fibromuscular dysplasia also predisposes individuals to renal artery aneurysms and dissection. Although most renal artery dissections are extensions of aortic dissections, on rare occasion they occur in isolation. Renal artery aneurysms often are not suspected clinically before imaging, but they can lead to catastrophic outcomes if they are overlooked. Unlike true aneurysms, pseudoaneurysms are typically iatrogenic or posttraumatic. However, multiple small pseudoaneurysms may be seen with underlying vasculitis. Arteriovenous fistulas also are commonly iatrogenic, whereas arteriovenous malformations are developmental (ie, congenital). Both of these conditions involve a prominent feeding artery and draining vein; however, arteriovenous malformations contain a nidus of tangled vessels. Nutcracker syndrome should be suspected when there is distention of the left renal vein with abrupt narrowing as it passes posterior to the superior mesenteric artery. Filling defects in a renal vein can be due to a bland or tumor thrombus. A tumor thrombus is most commonly an extension of renal cell carcinoma. When an enhancing mass is located predominantly within a renal vein, leiomyosarcoma of the renal vein should be suspected. RSNA, 2017.

“…Renal vein thrombosis following blunt trauma is seldom reported (2,3). Renal vein thrombosis is usually neglected probably because of lack of suspicion, ignored clinical manifestation and not performance of useful imaging (4).…”

Renal vessel thrombosis results in kidney loss unless be re-vascularized immediately. We report a case of right renal vein thrombosis in a 43 years old woman following whiplash trauma by her husband without any associated parenchymal or arterial injury. She presented to our emergency center with right flank pain for three days. She reported whiplashing by her husband 3 days before admission. Abdominopelvic spiral computerized tomography (CT) with intra-venous contrast showed a non-enhancement, enlargement and peri-renal fat-stranding in the right kidney. With the diagnosis of renal vein thrombosis following whiplash, the patient was heparinized 5000 IU sub-cutaneous every 8 hours and discharged with warfarin after resolution of gross hematuria. Follow-up with nuclear scan 10 weeks later showed the right kidney is non-function.
