Abstract
Spontaneous perirenal hematoma (SPH) is a rare, life-threatening condition. We present a patient with Wegener’s granulomatosis (WG) who developed SPH soon after the initiation of immunosuppressant therapy. Few cases of SPH as a complication of WG have been reported, though a rupture of an aneurysm in patients with polyarteritis nodosa can lead to SPH. Though immunosuppressant therapy is considered to be the first-line therapy for SPH with vasculitis, SPH could still occur after the initiation of an adequate treatment regimen.
