TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Ureteral injury due to blunt abdominal trauma JO - European journal of emergency medicine A1 - Lee, Wei-Jing A1 - Lin, Hung-Jung A1 - Cheng, Tse-Chou SP - 244 EP - 246 VL - 13 IS - 4 N2 - Ureteral injury is usually due to abdominal penetrating trauma or surgical insult. It has seldom been reported in patients with blunt abdominal trauma. A 20-year-old man presented with left flank and inguinal area pain after blunt abdominal trauma sustained in a motor scooter accident. Acute hydronephrosis and hematuria were noted. Retrograde pyelography and ureteroscopic examination revealed left distal ureter edema with obstruction. The hydronephrosis resolved after temporary double-J-stenting.
