Abstract
-
Penetrating and blunt abdominal trauma may injure the renal vasculature with to the renal circulation. The natural history of `missed` vascular injuries has been well documented and the emphasis of modern trauma management has been toward early diagnosis surgical management. We present 2 cases of `missed` renal arteriovenous fistula diagnosed by selective renal angiography at 13 years after explosive war injury and 6 months after blunt trauma with brief review of relevant literature.
