A case of polyarteritis nodosa with the acute complications of multiple bilateral real artery dissection, perirenal haemorrhage and kidney infarction is described. The diagnosis of polyarteritis nodosa was established on the basis of angiographical and clinical findings. Follow-up arteriograms and CT-findings after prednisone therapy are discussed.
