    Author: Diaz JR, Agriantonis DJ, Aguila J, Calleros JE, Ayyappan AP.
    Journal: Emerg Radiol; 2011 Aug; 18(4):329-34. PubMed ID: 21344245.
    Abstract:
    Spontaneous perirenal hemorrhage (SPH), also known as Wünderlich's syndrome, is a rare urological emergency. This article reviews the most common causes of SPH and the role of imaging in establishing the correct diagnosis and in guiding the appropriate therapy. A thorough understanding of underlying etiologies, imaging appearances, optimal imaging techniques, and follow-up protocols are crucial to recognize patients with SPH due to benign disease and avoid unnecessary nephrectomies.
