Ureteral injury from blunt abdominal trauma sustained in a bicycle accident.
Ureteral injuries from blunt abdominal trauma are rare. A 67-year-old man presented with left flank pain after blunt abdominal trauma sustained in a bicycle accident. Only two hours later he developed haematuria and pain in the left inguinal area. Contrast enhanced computed tomography scans revealed a partial disruption of the left uretero-pelvic junction.
