Periappendicular abscess as a cause of ureteral obstruction |
|
| Authors: | A Kivioja T Lehtonen |
| Abstract: | Ureteral obstruction due to appendicitis is a rarity. A twenty-five year old man with no previous abdominal symptoms showed right-sided hydronephrosis and hydroureter on intravenous urography. At operation the cause for this was found to be a ureteral kink due to adhesions caused by a healed periappendicular abscess. |
