  • Title: Traumatic rupture of a renal pelvis obstructed at the ureteropelvic junction: case report.
    Author: Hall SJ, Carpinito GA.
    Journal: J Trauma; 1994 Nov; 37(5):850-2. PubMed ID: 7966489.
    Abstract:
    Blunt abdominal trauma is a rare cause of injury to the upper ureter and renal pelvis. However, a pre-existing renal abnormality predisposes the kidney sustaining even minor trauma to serious injury. A case of a ruptured renal pelvis congenitally obstructed at the ureteropelvic junction following relatively minor trauma is presented, the literature reviewed, and susceptibility factors for traumatically induced hydronephrotic rupture discussed.
