[Inferior caval agenesis and renal trauma].

Area of Science:

• Urology
• Trauma Surgery
• Vascular Anomalies

Background:

• Inferior caval agenesis is a rare congenital vascular anomaly.
• Renal trauma management requires careful consideration, especially in patients with pre-existing conditions.

Observation:

• A 16-year-old male with diagnosed inferior caval agenesis sustained significant trauma to his left renal unit after a fall.
• The patient presented with high-grade renal trauma.

Findings:

• The case underscores the potential for increased incidence of renal trauma in individuals with inferior caval agenesis.
• Review of current literature supports established interventional recommendations for high-grade renal trauma.

Implications:

• This case emphasizes the importance of considering congenital vascular anomalies in trauma evaluations.
• Further research may elucidate the precise relationship between inferior caval agenesis and renal trauma risk.
