Traumatic bilateral renal artery thrombosis

Abstract

Although unilateral traumatic renal artery thrombosis may be more common than was once thought, bilateral traumatic renal artery thrombosis is rare, with only thirteen previously reported cases. Time is of the essence in diagnosing this condition, so that in the proper clinical setting one may be able to proceed quickly to arteriography. However, the prognosis at present still remains poor.
