Issue Date: | Sep-2024 | Source: | Urology Case Reports (2024):102831 | Journal title: | Urology Case Reports | Department: | Urology | Abstract: | The kidney is frequently injured in blunt abdominal trauma, accounting for 10 % of such cases and being the most commonly affected genitourinary organ in all traumas. Pelviureteric junction obstruction (PUJO) is typically a congenital and asymptomatic anatomical dilatation to the renal pelvis. This article reports on a 21-year-old male who ruptured a congenital PUJO following blunt abdominal trauma. He was managed with a retrograde ureteric stent and a staged pyeloplasty. This case highlights a rare case of urogenital injury due to blunt trauma and explores the impact of congenital anomalies can contribute to injury and lead to significant complications. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/1/2722 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.eucr.2024.102831 | Publicaton type: | Journal Article | Keywords: | Urology | Study or Trial: | Case Series and Case Reports |
