Abstract

Renal absence, unilateral or bilateral, may result from progressive renal involution due to teratogenic effects. We report a case of an 18-year-old female who presented with unilateral renal absence after being involved in an RTA with the only complains from her being lower abdominal pains. The management of unilateral renal absence is always good provided the solitary kidney is healthy and the prognosis is good.
