Abstract

In two children complete severance of the renal vascular pedicle was the consequence of falling from a considerable height. Pre-operative diagnosis was established by retrograde aortography. In both these children there were additional injuries; one child had a splenic injury, the other a liver injury. One child survived but the other died. The importance of utilising retrograde aortography to define the nature of the injury is discussed in the context of a critical clinical situation necessitating emergency surgery.
