title: The diagnosis of bilateral renal artery injury by computed tomography.
abstract: A case of bilateral renal artery injury diagnosed by computed tomography is reported. The findings, absence of renal enhancement and excretion and a cortical rim sign, are specific for renal vascular injury. Immediate exploration should be performed as angiographic confirmation of the CT diagnosis is not necessary.
