Abstract
We report significant blunt renal injury resulting from 3 traumatic events in 2 boys with the prune-belly syndrome. Manifestations of the syndrome influenced the clinical and radiographic assessment of the urinary tract injuries. Nonoperative management resulted in excellent outcomes without long-term sequelae.
