Doctors in Morrocco have recounted a “rare and initially puzzling” case of green urine discolouration that resolved spontaneously in a young trauma patient.

Their 15-year-old boy was unconscious following a motorcycle accident when he was admitted to the Mohammed VI University Hospital in Marrakesh.

On initial examination during resuscitation, he had a Glasgow Coma Scale of 11 with agitation, equal and reactive pupils, and normal vitals.

The doctors also noted a lip laceration and multiple abrasions on his face and knees.
