Abstract:
Significant renal injuries caused by blunt trauma can produce early and delayed complications. We report a case of blunt trauma that resulted in what appeared to be a persistent encapsulated hematoma, but was in reality an obstructed hydrocalyx. Communication with the collecting system was re-established percutaneously by a method similar to that used in the management of caliceal diverticula.
