Traumatic bilateral renal infarction.
Spontaneous recovery from biopsy-verified bilateral post-traumatic renal infarction in a 20-year-old patient is described, with clinical and renal stability maintained after 60 months of follow-up. A comprehensive analysis of recorded data yields no similar example, but several cases claiming subsequent viability after varying types of management bear clinical and histologic similarities. Management options may be influenced by these data.
