Abstract

The present case report highlights about Post-traumatic occlusion of the renal artery. Renal artery thrombosis is a rare complication of blunt abdominal trauma, described for the first time by Von Recklinghausen in 1861. Our case is of a 32-year-old male admitted to the emergency department to manage a polytrauma due to a car accident occurring three hours before admission. The higher mobility of the left kidney on its vascular pedicle is thought to be the cause of the increased frequency of left renal artery injuries. Because of the various therapy choices available, it is especially important to distinguish between these two conditions. The management of traumatic renal artery occlusion is controversial and opinions are divided between immediate surgical revascularization and observation.
