Abstract
Renal artery thrombosis is much less common than renal artery occlusion by emboli. When it does occur, it is usually a result of blunt abdominal trauma or a thrombus superimposed on an atherosclerotic plaque. Numerous other factors have been associated with renal artery thrombosis. Spontaneous renal artery thrombosis is a rare phenomenon in itself. This case represents spontaneous renal artery thrombosis associated with an altered mental status. Clinical features with suspected etiologies are reviewed. Recommendations for future evaluations are given.
