Abstract
Static and real-time gray-scale ultrasound examinations were performed on 7 patients who had minor, major and catastrophic renal trauma. The sonographic findings in avulsion of the renal pedicle, fractured kidney, ruptured renal cyst, perinephric and subcapsular hematomas, and pelvic blood clots are presented. Ultrasonography provided a valuable adjunct to conventional urography and radionuclide studies by adding information on the extent of renal and retroperitoneal injury.
