During the past ten years, we have treated 26 children with closed renal injuries. Hematuria appeared in 19 cases, but was not detected in 7 other cases, 6 of which corresponded to severe, especially pedicular, lesions. The diagnostic means for the lesion included IVP in 24 cases, ultrasonography in 23, angiography in 8 and computed tomography in 7. The treatment was medical for 18 children and surgical for 8. Observation revealed 4 cases of renal atrophy, including 1 of general atrophy without residual arterial hypertension. On the basis of this series and of a review of the literature, we study the evolution of the diagnosis and treatment of this condition with the development of new medical imaging techniques, especially of CT.
