چکیده
Introduction Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RF) is a fibrotic process in the retroperitoneum, that often causes ureteral obstruction. This condition, first described by Albarran in 1905, became an established clinical entity in 1948 owing to the work of Ormond. Studying the origins of this illness, Koep and Zuidema (1977) reviewed 481 cases of RF, of which 68% were considered idiopathic. This study presents a case of RF following a proctitis which ended in rectal stenosis.
