ABSTRACT
We describe a rare case of Wunderlich syndrome with bilateral renal hemorrhage in a patient under anticoagulant therapy for atrial fibrillation. An 84-year-old woman came to our department complaining of acute bilateral flank pain. Clinical and laboratory examinations revealed a condition of hypovolemic shock. An abdominal contrast-enhanced CT scan detected the presence of a bilateral hemorrhage affecting the peri- and para-renal spaces. Planning an appropriate management strategy considering the anticoagulated treatment required a multidisciplinary approach in the case of the Wunderlich syndrome diagnosis.
