    Abstract

    A 27- year old man fell from seven meters high. A CT of abdomen and pelvis with contrast injection showed injury of right kidney, perirenal hematoma, and periureteral extravasation of contrast. Retrograde pyelography confirmed the diagnosis of partial transection of the right upper ureter. Conservative management of the case is discussed. A JJ internal ureteral stent was inserted successfully.
