Abstract
Wunderlich syndrome (WS) is a life-threatening emergency characterized by the sudden onset of spontaneous, non-traumatic renal hemorrhage in the sub-capsular and perirenal space, with a distinct clinical and radiological presentation that enables diagnosis. Although most cases require invasive treatments such as surgery or embolization to control the bleeding, our 17-year-old patient admitted to the Mohammed VI hospital in Marrakech was successfully managed with conservative treatment.
