[Bilateral traumatic dissection of the renal arteries].
The bilateral dissection of the renal arteries is uncommon after blunt trauma. The clinical symptoms are scarce and inconstant. The diagnosis is based on contrast-enhanced computed tomography with intravenous contrast and angiographic examination is required only if an endovascular revascularization is envisaged. We reported here, an exceptional case of bilateral traumatic dissection of the renal arteries associated with acute renal failure. The delayed revascularization does not allow the recuperation of a renal function.
