RESUMEN
Wünderlich's syndrome, a rare and life-threatening condition involving spontaneous renal hemorrhage, is commonly associated with renal angiomyolipoma (rAML). Management options for rAML include surveillance, mTOR inhibitors, selective arterial embolization (SAE), and surgery. When complicated by Wünderlich's syndrome, prompt and adequate interventional treatment is necessary to prevent fatal outcomes. We present a unique case of a young female patient with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex who experienced a massive ruptured rAML, leading to Wünderlich's syndrome. Our approach involved a multidisciplinary hybrid strategy, combining SAE and nephrectomy, highlighting SAE's valuable role even when radical treatment is required.
