A 24-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency department with an acute onset of right flank pain and fever. Increased serum levels of acute-phase reactants, leukocytosis, and elevated serum creatinine levels were evident at blood analysis. a, b Axial (a) and coronal (b) contrast-enhanced CT images demonstrate a large renal subcapsular Gharbi type 3 hydatid cyst (asterisks) rupture into the pelvicalyceal system.
