ab Main renal vein laceration (AAST grade V). On these 3-mm-thick multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) axial images acquired during the arterial (a) and nephrographic (b) phases of the study in the same patient, a large perirenal-pararenal haematoma (star) is recognisable medially-ventrally to the kidney. No active contrast material extravasation can be observed during the arterial phase of the study, whereas a large contrast material extravasation (arrow) appears ventrally to the renal vein in the subsequent nephrographic phase, representing renal vein laceration
