Idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis, or Ormond’s disease, is a rare syndrome which is in essence the deposition of pathological fibrous tissue in the retroperitoneal space. In most cases, it is initially asymptomatic, but as the disease progresses, clinical symptoms develop. The main complaint are abdominal pain and symptoms resulting from the involvement of ureters, arterial and venous vessels. Diagnosis is based on computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, demonstrating a fibrotic tissue mass accumulated in the retroperitoneal space. Due to the typically late presentation of clinical symptoms, a diagnosis is difficult and is often made after complications occur. In our article, we present the case of a 71-year-old patient in whom coexisting ankylosing spondylitis and retroperitoneal fibrosis were diagnosed 15 years after non-specific abdominal pain occurred.

“…The condition has also been described to be associated with a wide variety of systemic and autoimmune diseases (Table 1). 7–17 Retroperitoneal disease is also associated with malignant disease 18 . Lymphoproliferative disorders, particularly Hodgkin’s disease, sarcomas, carcinoid tumours and carcinomas of the breast, lung, stomach, colon, bladder and prostate have all been associated with retroperitoneal fibrosis 7 .…”

Retroperitoneal fibrosis is a rare condition characterized by the development of fibrous plaques in the retroperitoneal space. The fibrous plaques characteristically arise distal to the bifurcation of the abdominal aorta and progress to encase the iliac vessels distally and are defined by the associated encasement of one or both ureters. Imaging plays an important role in not only establishing the diagnosis, but also in monitoring disease progression. Historically, the radiological diagnosis was made predominantly by intravenous urography and retrograde pyelography. More recently, advances in cross-sectional imaging with ultrasound and contrast-enhanced CT have allowed for a more precise diagnosis as well as helping to accurately define the extent of the disease. At our institution, we have found ultra-fast MRI to also play a useful role in establishing the diagnosis. In particular, magnetic resonance urography using HASTE (half Fourier-acquired single shot turbo spin-echo) sequences allow a safe alternative to intravenous urography, particularly in patients with poor renal function. The purpose of this article is to describe the role of the various imaging methods available to the radiologist and to emphasize the important role that the interventional radiologist now plays, not only in obtaining tissue for diagnosis, but also in providing treatment of the disease by percutaneous nephrostomy drainage and subsequent stent placement in select cases.
