Abstract
We observed a unique sonographic finding in a patient with right globa l renal infarction associated with an abdominal aortic dissection. Son ography in the acute phase revealed a highly echogenic and thickened p erirenal fascia without demonstrable abnormality of the renal parenchy ma. This finding may be helpful in the early diagnosis of renal infarc tion by routine sonography.
