On the basis of two cases of sub-adventitial traumatic rupture of the left renal artery, as well as data from the literature, the authors indicate the relative poverty of clinical signs of traumatic rupture of the renal arteries. They stress the value of early intravenous pyelography in lumbar trauma, with immediate arteriography in the presence of a non-functioning kidney, making conservative surgery possible.
