Ureteral contusion and delayed necrosis from gunshot injury.
The blast effect surrounding the path of a gunshot wound near the ureter can cause ureteral contusion with hematuria, no extravasation on the intravenous pyelogram, and an intact ureter found at laparotomy. Subsequent progression of the ureteral contusion to delayed necrosis and urine leakage can occur.
