An unusual case in which a complete bilateral ureteral transection due to a single low velocity gunshot wound occurred. This case illustrates that in gunshot wounds to the abdomen involving the retroperitoneum, ureteral inspection is imperative especially in view of the fact that preliminary diagnostic workup during trauma resuscitation may be inadequate.
