An unusual case of obstructive uropathy: Cystitis cystica with ureteritis cystica

A 45-year-old man presented with loin pain and burning micturation. He had a positive Bilharzial titre and impaired renal function. Ultrasonography (USG) revealed right hydroureteronephrosis and a thickened bladder wall with areas of calcification. A diuretic 99mTc – DTPA scan (technetium-99m diethylene triamine penta acetic acid) showed features of obstruction in both the kidneys. Cystoscopy s...

We report the case of a 29 year old woman with a history of repeated urinary tract infections presenting with acute renal colic in the absence of lithiasis. We review the diagnostic tools available to make the diagnosis and the recent pertinent literature.
