title: Traumatic parenchymal laceration in a horseshoe kidney.
abstract: An 18-year-old man was transferred to the authors' institution after a motor vehicle collision in which he was a restrained front seat passenger. The referring hospital performed contrast-enhanced computed tomography which revealed a previously undiagnosed horseshoe kidney with a laceration of the right lower pole moiety. On transfer, he was pale and mildly tachycardic but normotensive.
