AB  - The kidney is the most commonly injured urologic organ, 
with most injuries occurring unilaterally. We report a 
rare case of synchronous bilateral renal hematomas in 
an 87-year-old restrained driver involved in a motor 
vehicle accident and briefl y review the management of 
renal trauma, including the indications for operative 
intervention. This case demonstrates that in select cases 
bilateral renal injuries can be managed conservatively.
