From the case:

There is severe laceration to the left kidney with a large fluid-density collection around the kidney.
From the case:
Renal laceration
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/22268/annotated_viewer_json?iframe=true\u0026lang=us"}
After 10 minutes delay, repeat imaging of the abdomen and pelvis confirms that the left perirenal collection consists of a hematoma and urinoma with active urine-leak from the left collecting system.
Case Discussion
Severe abdominal trauma with a renal laceration that extends to the collecting system with free urine-leak. This demonstrates the importance of performing delayed imaging in patients with severe solid organ trauma or in whom there is suspicion for active hemorrhage.
