Patient Presentation:
18-year-old otherwise healthy male presented with right flank pain and hematuria for 24 hours

History:
A college football wide receiver noticed frank blood in his urine 1 day following an evening practice in which he sustained blunt trauma to his right torso from the helmet of a defensive player. The patient reported moderate localized right flank pain immediately following the impact; however, it was the blood-tinged urine that alerted the athlete to seek further evaluation in the ER.
