Abstract
Hemodynamically stable patients with renal injury can be managed conservatively. Anatomy typically leads to physiologic confinement of urinomas or renal hematomas to the interfascial planes of the retroperitoneum. In the presented case there was unusual reperfusion 14 days after a successful embolization of a renal pseudoaneurysm, at this time 28 days after the initiating trauma. This article discusses the evolution, treatment options and possible underlying causes for the reperfusion of this late-onset renal pseudoaneurysm.
