Acute renal infarction mimicking renal colic: A case report and review of the literature

20241 citationOpen accessMohamed I University

Abstract

Renal infarction is a rare pathology, which can be life-threatening for the kidney. Its low incidence and non-specific clinical manifestations make it difficult to diagnose, often resulting in delayed or misdiagnosis. Contrast-enhanced CT has a role to play in early positive diagnosis, enabling rapid and effective management. We report the case of a right renal infarction simulating renal colic, with a review of the literature.
