Late renal allograft torsion in a pediatric transplant recipient.

Background: Kidney allograft torsion is a rare complication of kidney transplant that can lead to allograft loss from prolonged ischemia if not quickly corrected with detorsion and nephropexy. We report a case of late intraperitoneal renal allograft torsion in a pediatric transplant recipient.

Case Report: The patient is a 7-year-old male with a history of end-stage renal disease secondary to renal dysplasia in the setting of bilateral high-grade vesicoureteral reflux.
