OBJETIVO: Presentamos un caso infrecuente de rotura de riñón en herradura.MÉTODOS: Se aporta el caso de un varón de 67 años con riñón en herradura, que presentó una fractura del istmo renal tras caída.RESULTADOS: El diagnóstico se realizó por TAC abdómino-pélvico con contraste. Se somete a laparotomía exploradora debido a la inestabilidad hemodinámica del paciente y a las características radiológicas del TAC. CONCLUSIONES: La rotura de riñón en herradura es una lesión infrecuente. El TAC abdomino-pélvico es la prueba de elección para clasificar el grado de lesión. Dependiendo de la estabilidad hemodinámica del paciente y de los hallazgos encontrados en el TAC se optará por tratamiento conservador o quirúrgico inmediato(AU)
OBJECTIVE: We report a rare case of horses-hoe kidney trauma.METHODS: 67 years old man with a horseshoe kidney, which presented a fracture of the isthmus after falling.RESULTS: The diagnosis was made by IV contrast CT scan. He underwent exploratory laparotomy due to hemodynamic instability and radiologic findings on the CT scan.CONCLUSIONS: The rupture of a horseshoe kidney is a rare injury. CT scan is the test of choice to classify the degree of injury. Depending on the patients hemodynamic stability and the findings on the CT scan the options are conservative orimmediate sur-gical treatment(AU)
