Abstract
Spontaneous thrombosis of the renal artery is extremely rare. It presents as an acute abdomen and is often underdiagnosed. Clinicians need to be aware of this rare disease for timely diagnosis and treatment. We present a case of a 60-year-old male without previous health conditions presenting with unremitting acute pain abdomen, nausea, and vomiting. Ultrasonography was reported unremarkable. A contrast-enhanced Computed Tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen demonstrated a thrombosed right renal artery with a right renal infarct. The purpose of this case report is to put forth this rare entity as a cause of acute abdomen to provide a timely diagnosis and treatment for such patients.
