Acute renal infarction - rim capsular enhancement

Discussion:

Acute renal infarction with thin, rim capsular enhancement. This can be helpful to distinguish from acute pyelonephritis, although infarct should be strongly suspected given the other vasculopathic findings (left common iliac occlusion).

Capsular blood supply is supplied by early branches of the renal artery and can remain patent in the setting of distal occlusion, as in this case.
