    Author: Mariotto A, Zampieri N, Cecchetto M, Camoglio FS.
    Journal: Pediatr Med Chir; 2015 Sep 28; 37(2):pmc.2015.110. PubMed ID: 26429120.
    Abstract:
    More than 90% of renal injuries in children result from blunt abdominal trauma. A 10-year-old female had a blunt abdominal trauma with macro-hematuria. The computed tomography scan revealed the presence of a horseshoe kidney and a 3rd grade renal lesion and contrast leakage from the right ureter. The ureteral rupture was confirmed by cystoscopy and ascendant pyelography and than a double J-stent was implanted. The stent was removed one month later. Non-surgical management has become the standard of care for both ureteral and renal lesions in children. Non-surgical treatment is a safe procedure for renal trauma with ureteral rupture in children.
