“…The sonographic criteria used for diagnosis were ac cording to the description by Schmoller et al [19] and Jakse et al [13]: Renal contusion was defined according to Nicolaisen et al [16] as hematuria after renal trauma with a normal renal ultrasound. An intrarenal hematoma appears as a hypoechoic area circumscribed by normal renal parenchyma ( fig.…”

Fifty-four patients with blunt renal trauma underwent abdominal ultrasound as their initial diagnostic exploration if their hemodynamic status and associated injuries did not contraindicate unnecessary delays. Renal ultrasound allowed us to diagnose the injuries and to identify which patients required a more aggressive radiological exploration to obtain a diagnosis of certainty. At the same time we were able to certify that this technique is highly accurate in the diagnosis of lesions associated with gross hematuria. The noninvasiveness and low cost of this procedure makes it, in our experience, the technique of choice in the initial workup of blunt renal trauma.
