title: [Laceration of the vessels of the kidney hilus. A complication not previously described in halo extension treatment].
abstract: During the last years the halo traction proved to be an appropriate preoperative procedure to provide the spinal region with corrective forces, although several complications became known. As a complication unknown as yet a laceration of the renal hilus vessels is described, and the possible causes are discussed. Consequently, in case of abdominal symptoms and signs, a possible intraabdominal or retroperitoneal vascular lesion must be taken into consideration besides the well-known spinal-traction/spinal-cord-traction-syndrome.
