Rupture of the ureter due to crushing injury in a boy with severe haemophilia

Abstract

Abstract A haemophilic boy, aged 14 years, presented with rupture of the upper end of the ureter as a result of a crushing injury. Primary ureteral anastomosis was successfully carried out under cover of cryoglobulin precipitate therapy. Renal function tests carried out at 2 months were normal, although the isotope renogram showed slight diminution of function on the injured side and an intravenous pyelogram showed some narrowing of the site of the anastomosis.
