Sumario:The double-J ureteral stent is a standard procedure in daily urological practice. Although considered as safe, this approach is fraught with several complications. These complications are of limited severity and resolve with symptomatic treatment. In some cases, serious and life-threatening complications, such as infection and subcapsular hematoma, can occur. In the literature, a few cases of subcapsular renal hematoma secondary to ureteral stent insertion have been reported. Herein, we report a case of renal subcapsular hematoma combined with hemorrhagic shock in a 67-year-old patient who had a ureteral stent insertion one month ago.
