Retrocaval ureter: two case reports.
Retrocaval ureter also referred to as pre-ureteral vena cava is a rare congenital anomaly with the ureter passing posterior to the inferior vena cava. Though it is a congenital anomaly, patients do not normally present with symptoms until the 3rd and 4th decades of life from a resulting hydronephrosis. We present the first two cases to be reported in Ghana; a 36-year-old male and a 40-year-old ...

متن کاملRetrocaval ureter: the importance of intravenous urography.
Retrocaval ureter is a rare cause of hydronephrosis. Its rarity and non-specific presentation pose a challenge to surgeons and radiologists in making the correct diagnosis. Differentiation from other causes of urinary tract obstruction, especially the more common urolithiasis, is important for successful surgical management. Current practice has seen multislice computed tomography (MSCT) rapidl...
متن کاملMinimally Invasive Approach of a Retrocaval Ureter
The retrocaval ureter is a rare congenital entity, classically managed with open pyeloplasty techniques. The experience obtained with the laparoscopic approach of other more frequent causes of ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction has opened the method for the minimally invasive approach of the retrocaval ureter. In our paper, we describe a clinical case of a right retrocaval ureter managed ...
متن کاملLaparoscopic transperitoneal repair of retrocaval (circumcaval) ureter.
A 36-year-old female patient presented with recurrent attacks of flank pain of two years duration. Ultrasound showed right hydronephrosis and dilatation of proximal ureter. Intravenous urography showed right grade 2 hydronephrosis, and the “reverse J” shape of the collecting system suggested retrocaval course of the ureter. Magnetic resonance urography showed grade 2 obstruction due to hooking ...
