title: [Bilateral kidney injury caused by a firearm. Presentation of a case].
abstract: We report a case of penetrating renal trauma from firearm involving both kidneys. Radiologic and CT examination revealed no associated lesions to vital organs. Following conservative treatment which had been instituted initially, the patient developed an external urinary fistula and a retroperitoneal abscess which were resolved utilizing a ureteral catheter and drainage, respectively. Complete functional recovery of both kidneys was achieved at 35 days. The diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of renal trauma from gunshot wounds are reviewed and discussed.
