ABSTRACT
Acute renal cortical necrosis in which there is destruction of the renal cortex and sparing of the renalmedulla, is a relatively rare cause of acute renal failure. A definitive diagnosis of acute renal corticalnecrosis is based on renal biopsy, but on CT(computed tomography) the rather specific contrast-enhanced appearance of acute renal cortical necrosis has been described. As renal biopsy is not available, contrast-enhanced CT is auseful, noninvasive investigate modality for the early diagnosis of acute renal cortical necrosis. We report the characteristic CT findings of acute renal cortical necrosis in a patient with acute renal failure following anoperation for abdominal trauma.
