Abstract

The authors present a case of complete ureteral rupture, after closed, abdominal traumatism in a patient suffering from multiple traumatisms. They point out the slight number of cases published in the literature as well as the frequency of its delayed diagnosis due to few or no symptoms, particularly when associated with visceral ruptures or bone fractures which may conceal the picture. They recommend the I.V.U. for all patients with multiple traumatisms once they have recovered from the state of shock, as a simple exploration but which provides a great deal of information. They also advise conservative treatment even in cases with a delayed diagnosis.
