Sumario:Although retroperitoneal is a protected place, the kidney is the most common organ to be injured by genitourinary system trauma. In this paper, we present an extremely rare case of bilateral penetrating renal trauma in a 9- year-old girl caused by a gunshot. A laparotomy was done which showed grade IV and V injury to the left and right kidney respectively. After that, three days of intensive care unit admission were eventually. Finally, we discharged the girl in good health. In Conclusion, dealing with such cases should be urgent to avoid life-threatening injuries, and to save renal parenchyma.
