Only two hours later he developed haematuria and pain in the left inguinal area. Contrast enhanced computed tomography scans revealed a partial disruption of the left uretero-pelvic junction.Key Words: Blunt abdominal traumahaematuriahydronephrosis Additional informationNotes on contributorsF.J.M.P.
