Abstract

Having a kidney disease is a major risk factor of renal injury during blunt traumas. We present a case of abdominal blunt trauma due to motor-vehicle accident in a 48 year old male patient. Abdominal computed tomography scan showed a high-volume retroperitoneal hematoma with rupture in the isthmus of the horseshoe kidney with active contrast-enhanced extravasation. He underwent a partial nephrectomy of the left lower pole.
