title: Traumatic ureteropelvic disruption in the child.
abstract: Traumatic disruption of the ureter from the pelvis is a rare injury of the child's urinary tract that probably results from extreme hyperextension of the trunk. The child may be remarkably free from other injuries whereas such trauma is usually lethal in the adult. Hydronephrosis may not occur immediately. Three cases are reported.
