Renal pelvis rupture during pregnancy: diagnosing a confusing source of despair

We present an impressive case of a pregnant woman presenting with severe right flank pains. A rare rupture of the right renal pelvis turned out to be the cause of her problems. Renal pelvis rupture in pregnancy is difficult to diagnose. It is easily confused with other more prevalent diagnoses, like hydronephrosis, ureteral distension, renal calculus and pyelonephritis. Ultrasonography is not always conclusive. Pyelography seems to be a good diagnostic tool, this case shows that MRI is another option. Renal pelvis rupture can be effectively treated with the insertion of a JJ-stent.

“…It is reported that nontraumatic cases often have co-existing conditions such as renal cysts, a prenchymal hamartomas, other renal tumors, or evidence of chronic infection in association with obstruction. 1,9,11,12,15 These underlying conditions can be divided into three clusters. Four cases, who consequently underwent nephrectomy, had renal benign tumors, that is, hamartoma.…”

We report a case with spontaneous rupture of the renal pelvis during pregnancy. A 34-year-old Japanese woman was referred at 20 weeks' gestation because of sudden severe right flank pain. She had severe colic pain radiating to the right lower abdomen with percussion tenderness at the right costovertebral angle and was initially suspected to have renal/ureteral calculi. Ultrasonography and intravenous pyelography showed urine extravasating from the renal pelvis, indicating rupture of the right renal pelvis. Immediately following the insertion of a double-J indwelling catheter, her symptoms and perirenal extravasation ceased. She had no further urological problems during pregnancy and a male infant was delivered at 41 weeks' gestation. Cases with spontaneous rupture of the renal pelvis in pregnancy are reviewed.

“…[1][2][3][4] Ten cases of renal hemorrhage associated with parturition have been reported. [5][6][7][8][9][10] In these cases, the etiology of the bleeding was obscure, with no detectable pathology to account for the sudden onset of hemorrhage. 9 We report the first case of a spontaneous perinephric hematoma associated with urolithiasis in pregnancy.…”
