Location of gas locules along the needle tract and associated abdominal wall haematoma suggesting left subcostal artery puncture.
Small volume ascites (near water attenuation - not haemoperitoneum).
Case Discussion
Retroperitoneal haematoma complicating percutaneous renal biopsy (likely subcostal artery puncture).
