ABSTRACT
Post-traumatic thrombosis of the renal arteries is a complication rarely described in the literature. It is a diagnostic and therapeutic emergency, despite the fact that the therapeutic management of this pathology is still a subject of controversy. Pathophysiologically, this pathology can result from intimal injury (inelastic) or compression of the renal artery against the spine by an impact on the anterior abdominal wall. This observation reports a case of post-traumatic thrombosis of both renal arteries due to protein C deficiency and resistance to activated protein c, exacerbated by hyperhomocysteinemia, mainly due to chronic smoking and cannabis use in our patient. The discussion of this case made it possible to understand the potential role of this type of anomaly in the development of this type of complication.
