Case report details nephrectomy resolving recurrent flash pulmonary edema and hypertension, indicating the need for timely intervention.
Page kidney refers to the extrinsic compression of renal parenchyma causing renovascular hypertension. We present the case of a 58-year-old female with refractory hypertension and recurrent episodes of flash pulmonary edema following trivial trauma. Despite initial management with percutaneous drainage of the perinephric hematoma, she eventually required a nephrectomy due to persistent symptoms. The symptoms resolved post nephrectomy. The case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and timely intervention in Page kidney to prevent long-term complications.
