ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

Kidney is the most commonly injured organ of the genitourinary tract after trauma. Half of blunt renal injuries are caused by traffic accidents, but sport activities are also included as frequent causes. Skatebording is popular among young people but it deserves being considered a potential cause of severe injuries. A number of published medical reports mainly refer to bone, joint and head injuries but no cases have been reported on urologic or kidney trauma.

METHODS:

We present two cases of renal trauma in adolescent males occurred while doing skateboarding.

RESULTS:

The first patient had a grade 3 renal trauma with urinary extravasation, managed conservatively with ureteral stenting. The second patient had a grade 4 to 5 renal trauma with cardiovascular instability requiring an urgent nephrectomy.

CONCLUSIONS:

We would emphasize these cases as an emergent urological warning. Scientific information and medical education should be addressed from physicians to a targeted population, in order to reduce among teens the incidence of injuries of such at-risk activity
RESUMEN

OBJETIVO:

El riñón es el órgano del tracto genitourinario que se lesiona con más frecuencia en los traumatismos. La mitad de las lesiones renales por traumatismos cerrados son consecuencia de los accidentes de tráfico, aunque las actividades deportivas también se incluyen cómo causas frecuentes. El monopatín es popular entre los jóvenes pero se merece estar entre las causas potenciales de lesiones graves. Algunas comunicaciones publicadas se refieren principalmente a lesiones óseas, articulares y de la cabeza pero no se han comunicado casos de traumatismos urológicos o renales.

MÉTODOS:

Presentamos dos casos de traumatismo renal en varones adolescentes ocurridos mientras montaban en monopatín.

RESULTADOS:

El primer paciente tenía un traumatismo renal grado 3 con extravasación de orina, fue manejado de forma conservadora con catéter ureteral. El segundo paciente tenía un traumatismo renal grado 4 o 5 con inestabilidad cardiovascular, requiriendo una nefrectomía de urgencias.

CONCLUSIONES:

Destacaríamos estos casos como una señal urológica emergente. La información científica y la educación médica deben ser transmitidas desde los médicos a una población diana, para reducir la incidencia de lesiones por dicha actividad de riesgo entre los adolescentes
