Sumario:Spontaneous rupture of kidney is a rare clinical entity. A 35-year-old female presented in emergency with left flank pain and features suggestive of haemorrhagic shock. Investigations showed rupture of kidney with perinephric haematoma. Emergency left nephrectomy was done. Patient was discharged in satisfactory condition. Nephrolithiasis with secondary bacterial infection rarely presents as spontaneous kidney rupture. In presence of haemorrhagic shock management is emergency surgery.
