Abstract
Wunderlich Syndrome (WS) is a rare condition characterized by spontaneous bleeding in the kidney without any traumatic event. It usually happens unilaterally, but bilateral cases are rare. The most common causes of WS are renal neoplasms, vascular disorders, infections, renal cystic diseases, and anticoagulation states, with idiopathic cases being uncommon. Here, we present a case of bilateral idiopathic Wunderlich Syndrome.
