Abstract
|
|
|
|
Herniation of the kidney through a traumatic diaphragmatic rupture in itself is rare. However, complete avulsion of the renal pedicle implies not only a more rare event, but also a surgical emergency. We report a case of a patient with complete avulsion of renal vessels and ureter of an intrathoracic kidney herniated through a diaphragmatic rupture caused by blunt trauma. Prompt diagnosis with a computer tomographic scan and immediate surgery saved the patient´s life.
