Abstract
- Acute cortical necrosis is a rare cause of the acute renal failure. It is frequently associated with complications of pregnancy. The renal biopsy is the key of diagnosis of these disease. However, the contrast enhanced CT scan can be a tool for the diagnosis of acute renal cortical necrosis, because of its noninvasiveness and constant findings(enhancement of subcapsular rim, nonenhancement of the renal cortex, enhancement of medulla, and lack of excretion of contrast media to the collecting system). This is a case of acute renal cortical necrosis diagnosed by CT scan. She had an anuria for 16 days and feature of hemolytic uremic syndrome and polycystic kidney.
