| Abstract | Wunderlich syndrome is a rare and possibly life-threatening haemorrhagic syndrome presenting as spontaneous nontraumatic renal rupture with subcapsular and perinephric haemorrhage. Apixaban, a direct oral anticoagulant recommended in patients with atrial fibrillation, has previously been associated with atraumatic solid organ rupture but, to date, no case of apixaban-related Wunderlich syndrome has been reported. We report a rare case of Wunderlich syndrome associated with apixaban while addressing the difficulties face by clinicians when managing anticoagulation in bleeding patients. |
