Ureteric injury is uncommon and mostly follows penetrating trauma or surgical injury. Ureteric rupture following blunt abdominal trauma is rare, there being only a few reported cases. The case described here, in which blunt abdominal trauma resulted in delayed intraperitoneal rupture, appears to be the first report of this type of injury in blunt trauma.
