Spontaneous bilateral perirenal and splenic haematoma in childhood onset polyarteritis nodosa
Summary
Spontaneous bilateral perirenal haematoma, as well as splenic haematoma, are rare occasions in polyarteritis nodosa (PAN). We report a case of a young man, who suffered from various typical and atypical manifestations of PAN since childhood. The diagnosis was delayed due to symptoms mimicking with other clinical conditions. Finally, the diagnosis was confirmed when presented with perirenal and splenic haematoma and was managed successfully.
