We report the management of a renal transplant recipient who presented five months after renal transplantation with deterioration of renal function, who was found to have TRA pseudoaneurysm and TRA stenosis. Both were treated radiologically by using expandable hydrogel coils(EHC) in combination with stenting. Improvement in clinical, biochemical and radiological parameters were observed after the intervention. To our knowledge, this is the first report in the transplant literature on the use of EHC for the treatment of a TRA pseudoaneurysm.展开更多

With its clinical presentation, delayed diagnosis rarely happens. We report the case of a 12-year-old girl diagnosed seven days post-trauma with grade IV renal trauma complicated with infected urinoma and bilateral lower polar vessels. She was non-operatively managed with ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage of the urinoma, which resolved, and had unremarkable six months follow-up. We discuss the role of preexistent hydronephrosis in low-velocity impact, pitfalls of diagnosis in resource-constrained settings, and management of high-grade trauma.展开更多
