The bull's-eye sign: A hallmark radiologic sign of complete ureteropelvic junction disruption after blunt renal trauma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Complete ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) disruption is a rare finding after blunt abdominal trauma. High clinical suspicion and close attention to imaging studies are needed to avoidmissing a UPJ disruption during initial evaluation. In high grade renal trauma, the best imaging modality to detect collecting system injury and urinary extravasation is computed tomography (CT) scanwith delayed excretory phase imaging. Presence of urinary extravasation with lack of contrast material in the distal ureter may suggest a ureteral injury or complete UPJ disruption. We report a case of UPJ disruption with distinct radiologic finding of “bull's-eye” sign after blunt abdominal trauma, which was diagnosed and successfully repaired.

متن کاملPartial Ureteropelvic Junction Disruption after Blunt Trauma: Case Report
Partial ureteropelvic junction disruption as a result of blunt trauma is rare and frequently missed by the initial trauma evaluation. Delays in diagnosis have also been associated with significant morbidity. A high index of suspicion should lead to appropriate investigations, and the management will be determined by the severity of the disruption. We present herein a 24-year-old man who was adm...
متن کاملBilateral ureteropelvic disruption following blunt abdominal trauma: Case report
BACKGROUND Ureteral injury occurs in less than 1% of blunt abdominal trauma cases, partly because the ureters are relatively well protected in the retroperitoneum. Bilateral ureteral injury is extremely rare, with only 10 previously reported cases. Diagnosis may be delayed if ureteric injury is not suspected, and delay of 36 hours or longer has been observed in more than 50% of patients with ur...
متن کاملHand-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy combined with caliceal ureterostomy for the treatment of post-traumatic ureteropelvic junction disruption.
Ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) disruption seldom occurs in patients with blunt abdominal trauma. The diagnosis of UPJ disruption is delayed in more than 50% of patients, and it can lead to difficulty in further treatment or increase the risk of nephrectomy. We present a 25-year-old man who was found to have left UPJ disruption 2 months after blunt abdominal trauma and who was successfully treated...

An 18-year-old male soccer player was transferred from the clinic to our emergency center with suspected blunt renal trauma. A giant ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstructed hydronephrosis in blunt renal trauma was revealed by enhanced computed tomography and angiography. The patient then underwent insertion of a double “J” stent and was placed under close observation in the intensive care unit....
