Abstract:
This is a case report of a patient who survived blunt renal avulsion and herniation of the kidney through a ruptured diaphragm. Symptoms were mild considering the severity of injury. Prompt diagnosis of this unusual combination of injuries was aided by contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT).
