Main renal artery laceration (AAST grade IV). On this 3-mm-thick multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) axial image acquired during the arterial (a) phase of the study, a large contrast material extravasation can be observed adjacent to the right renal artery (arrow) as a consequence of renal artery laceration; to notice, the markedly reduced diameter of the aorta (star) as a consequence of the haemodynamic shock status. Moreover, the right renal parenchyma shows a large well-defined hypodense area (arrowheads), representing renal infarction
