Figure 2. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography scans of the patient in Case 2. The axial view (A) shows devascularization of the left kidney, except for a small segment that is likely supplied by an accessory branch (white arrow). The coronal view (B) shows the full extent of the left retroperitoneal hematoma, with hemoperitoneum across the upper abdomen (red arrow) Note: This finding correlates with the patient’s positive focused assessment with sonography in trauma exam in the splenorenal window on arrival.
