Abstract

The development of a perirenal hematoma is rare and primarily the result of trauma, malignancy, or a connective tissue disease. Infrequently, a continuous or even mild trauma can cause a perirenal hematoma. Here, we report a case involving the development of a perirenal hematoma after excessive hula-hooping in the absence of a major trauma history.
