We report an interesting case of massive haematuria secondary to a rupture of a pseudoa- neurysm of the abdominal aorta below the renal vessels. A 65-year-old woman present- ed at our institution with a painful massive haematuria and anaemia. Two months before, she undergone a pelvic surgery complicated by an accidental injury of the right ureter sutured with a end-to-end anastomosis. An abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan with intravenous contrast showed a right-sided hydronephrosis with clots in the lumen of the right pelvis with a massive retroperitoneal hematoma due to a rupture of a iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm of the abdominal aorta below the origin of the renal arteries.

Article Synopsis
- Phlegmasia cerulea dolens (PCD) is a serious condition caused by massive deep vein thrombosis that can threaten both life and limbs, often requiring urgent treatment options such as endovascular therapy or surgical embolectomy in specific cases.
- A patient case illustrated simultaneous PCD with acute limb ischemia, showing symptoms like abdominal pain, cyanosis, and motor deficits, leading to a successful combined surgical embolectomy to resolve the issues.
- This report emphasizes that there are no formal guidelines for treating PCD and stresses the necessity for personalized treatment strategies and comprehensive care access.

Summary/introduction: Acute Glomerulonephritis (AGN) is one of the most common childhood renal diseases in Nigeria. Acute Post-infectious glomerulonephritis (APIGN)-typified by post-streptococcal AGN (PSGN)-is the commonest, usually developing 1-6 weeks after an infectious episode. Rarely, AGN may occur concurrently with the inciting infectious process and may go unnoticed by clinicians.

Objectives: Intracapillary monoclonal IgM deposits disease (ICMDD) has long been considered a hallmark of Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) nephropathy. Intracapillary immunoglobulin thrombi are the characteristic features of cryoglobulinemic glomerulonephritis. Here, we reported 4 cases of ICMDD with massive pseudothrombi but without WM or cryoglobulinemia.
