Abstract:Blunt trauma represents a major cause of death in children. The incidence of renal arterial injuries in these cases is less than 1%. Traumatic renal artery occlusion is a rare occurrence in the pediatric age group. However, there is lack of information on the exact incidence and results of the management of these rare cases in the pediatric age group. We report herein a case and we review the available literature of this severe injury in the pediatric age group.
