– In this work the authors describe a case of post-trauma renal artery thrombosis. The 46-year-old male patient, with a post trauma to the right flank, underwent emergency urography during which he went into shock. Emergency laparotomy was therefore performed by anterior transperitoneal approach. Trauma of the spleen and rupture of the right kidney with thrombosis of the right renal artery was found. The aim of the authors is to show that immediate operation is sometimes necessary without careful pre-operative radiological exams in order to save the patient's life.
