The ectopic pelvic kidney is defined as a kidney placed atypically due to abnormal migration from the fetal pelvis during development embryological. Ectopic kidneys can be more exposed to trauma, since they are in a less protected anatomical position. Today, these anomalies are generally noted as fortuitous discoveries during the initial assessment by ultrasound or computed tomography (CT scan). A post-traumatic renal artery pseudoaneurysm rarely occurs after abdominal trauma blunt. Common symptoms include acute hematuria, abdominal pain, a lump pulsatile in the abdomen or flank, or arterial hypertension. We report the case of a patient with post traumatic renal artery pseudoaneurysm on two fortuitously discovered ectopic pelvic kidneys
