Traumatic Renal Artery Thrombosis in a Child – A case Report

Traumatic Renal Artery Thrombosis in a Child

Abstract

Introduction: Blunt abdominal injuries are common in children with liver, spleen and kidneys being more commonly injured. Of these, renal trauma account for 10% of these injuries. Case Report: We have presented a case of blunt abdominal trauma leading to renal artery thrombosis which was managed conservatively. Conclusion: Prompt diagnosis and conservative management usually leads to successful outcome and unnecessary laparotomies are thereby avoided.
