Abstract:
The bilateral dissection of the renal arteries is uncommon after blunt trauma. The clinical symptoms are scarce and inconstant. The diagnosis is based on contrast-enhanced computed tomography with intravenous contrast and angiographic examination is required only if an endovascular revascularization is envisaged. We reported here, an exceptional case of bilateral traumatic dissection of the renal arteries associated with acute renal failure. The delayed revascularization does not allow the recuperation of a renal function.

Bloody Supply to the Kidneys:
The kidneys receive their blood supply from the renal arteries, which branch off from the abdominal aorta—the main artery supplying the abdomen and lower body. The renal arteries enter the kidneys at the hilum, a notch on the medial side of each...

External Anatomy of the Kidney
The kidneys are located in the retroperitoneal space on either side of the vertebral column, protected posteriorly by the 11th and 12th ribs. The right kidney sits slightly lower than the left owing to the presence of the liver...
