title: [Traumatic renal pelvis rupture associated with previously unknown stenosis at the renal pelvis junction].
abstract: Traumatic rupture of the renal pelvis junction has been reported only rarely in the literature. Surgical exploration of the right kidney in a young man with blunt abdominal trauma showed a formerly unknown stenosis at the renal pelvis junction with hydronephrosis. Rupture of the renal pelvis by blunt abdominal trauma was related to obstruction of the ureteropelvic junction. Routine ultrasound examinations could show this pathological findings and help the patient to undergo early urological treatment.
