Abstract:
Spontaneous rupture of the kidney is a rare condition which usually presents as an acute abdominal process requiring prompt diagnostic evaluation and proper therapy. We experienced 2 cases of spontaneous rupture of the kidney secondary to hydronephrosis in a 31 year old man and intrarenal artery aneurysm in a 62 year old woman. The operative procedures were nephrectomy in both cases.
