Spontaneous renal vein thrombosis: a rare cause of acute flank pain

Isolated renal vein thrombosis is a rare entity. We present a patient whose complaint of flank pain led to the diagnosis of a renal vein thrombosis. In this case, abdominal computed tomography angiography was helpful in diagnosing the nutcracker syndrome complicated by the renal vein thrombosis. Anticoagulation was started and three weeks later, CTA showed complete disappearance of the renal vein thrombosis. To treat the Nutcracker syndrome, we proposed left renal vein transposition that the patient consented to.

Though risk of venous thromboembolism in increased at high altitude, involvement of renal veins is rare. A 27-year-old soldier was evacuated from a height of 18000 feet after developing flank pain and haematuria. Ultrasound showed an enlarged left kidney and lack of flow in proximal renal vein. CT scan confirmed the presence of renal vein thrombus. Serum IgM Anti β-2 Glycoprotein I antibodies, IgG Anti β-2 Glycoprotein I antibodies and IgM anticardiolipin antibodies were detectable and the former two were present after three months also. Secondary causes of antiphospholipid syndrome were excluded. He was started on low molecular weight heparin and is now on lifelong oral anticoagulation with warfarin.

We report a case of staphylococcal sepsis with vascular complications including peripheral emboli and renal vein thrombosis. Bilateral renal vein thrombosis has not been reported as a complication ofStaphylococcus aureus(SA) axillary abscess. Uncontrolled diabetes was the only detected predisposing medical condition. The patient was treated successfully with incision and drainage of soft-tissue abscesses and intravenous antibiotic for six weeks and with anticoagulation for renal vein thrombosis.
