AbstractRenal vein thrombosis typically occurs in the setting of nephrotic syndrome, tumor thrombus, primary retroperitoneal processes with vein compression, oral contraceptive use, steroid therapy, transplanted kidney, or trauma. Trauma-induced renal vein thrombosis usually presents in combination with renal arterial or parenchymal injury. We report a case of isolated renal vein thrombosis secondary to blunt abdominal and flank trauma. The diagnosis was made with computed tomography, which revealed a filling defect in the affected renal vein and persistent nephrogram on delayed images. In general, conservative management is the preferred treatment approach with anticoagulation.
