Abstract
Blunt trauma represents a major cause of death in children. Multi-trauma is defined as life-threatening injury of two or more body regions and remains a challenge for diagnosis and therapy. Here, we present a case of an 11-year-old boy with a traumatic renal artery occlusion associated with a hepatic injury, which was treated with conservative non-operative treatment. Prompt diagnosis and conservative treatment of a traumatic renal artery occlusion in a pediatric patient may lead to a successful outcome, avoiding unnecessary laparotomy.
