Abstract
A typical case of primary renal artery dissection, an unusual entity c ausing renal infarction, is described. This abnormality, masquerading as renal colic, affects otherwise-healthy middle-aged men. Angiography , which will confirm the diagnosis, should precede nephrectomy, becaus e vascular repair may be feasible.
