Background Renal artery pseudoaneurysm (RAP) is a rare renal vascular abnormality but a life-threatening condition that requires multiple imaging modalities for diagnosis and successful management. It can occur as a complication associated with a percutaneous renal biopsy procedure, renal surgery, and trauma. Asymptomatic spontaneous RAP is also a rare entity and not reported in literature. Case Presentation A 28-year-old patient presented to the outpatient department for ultrasound of the breast for mastalgia and routine ultrasound of the abdomen. Ultrasound breast was normal; however, a cystic lesion with color uptake with a yin–yang pattern and to-and-fro spectral waveform was seen in the lower pole of left kidney suggesting a pseudoaneurysm. A computed tomography renal angiogram confirmed the diagnosis. The patient was completely asymptomatic with no history of any renal surgery or intervention or any trauma to the abdomen. Her general and systemic examinations were unremarkable. Digital subtraction angiography and coil embolization of the pseudoaneurysm were performed. Absent of flow in the lesion was demonstrated in postembolization angiography images and ultrasound images. Conclusion RAP has always been described in patients after renal biopsy, surgery, interventions, or trauma. However, we present a case of asymptomatic spontaneous RAP, which was incidentally discovered and effectively treated with coil embolization.

Introduction: Renal artery pseudoaneurysm is a well-described complication of open and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. Delayed bleeding from a renal artery pseudoaneurysm is rare after open partial nephrectomy. Case description: Here, we present a 75-year-old man who, 14 days after undergoing an open right partial nephrectomy for an endophytic 4.5 cm tumor, developed painless macroscopic hematuria. Prompt computer tomography angiography imaging, followed by therapeutic angio-embolization of segmental renal artery with coils, treated the pseudoaneurysm successfully. Conclusion: Renal artery pseudoaneurysm can be treated rapidly, effectively, and with minimal patient morbidity via percutaneous renal artery embolization.
