Abstract

We report on a 37-year-old man suffering from type 1 neurofibromatosis with spontaneous rupture of a lower pole artery of the right kidney. Two renal arteries with aneurysmal alterations were identified at angiography. We did not coil the lower pole artery because active bleeding had stopped. Eleven days later, the patient suffered a further spontaneous rupture to the right main renal artery, and nephrectomy was unavoidable. His recovery was rapid and unremarkable.

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
