Blunt Trauma to the Right Kidney – Grade III Injury Segmental Ischemia – CT
Axial CT scan in the pyelographic phase through the upper abdomen in a patient who presented with blunt trauma to the right kidney. There is a perfusion defect in the anterior aspect of the right kidney that involves both the cortex and medulla and extends to the capsular surface with evidence of thin rim of cortical enhancement, due to capsular perfusion. (“cortical rim sign”) and suggesting segmental arterial compromise.
