Acute renal cortical necrosis is a rare cause of acute renal failure that is usually associated with third trimester obstetrical complications. The appearance of this condition on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) has rarely been described. A case of acute cortical renal necrosis is presented and the findings on contrast-enhanced CT are described. The pathologic correlation is also presented.
