Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most frequent community-acquired and healthcare-associated bacterial infections. UTIs are heterogeneous and range from rather benign, uncomplicated infections to complicated UTIs (cUTIs), pyelonephritis and severe urosepsis, depending mostly on the host response. Ultrasound and computed tomography represent the imaging processes of choice in the diagnosis and staging of the pathology in emergency settings. The aim of this study is to describe the common ultrasound (US) and computed tomography (CT) features of pyonephrosis. US can make the diagnosis, demonstrating echogenic debris, fluid/fluid levels, and air in the collecting system. Although the diagnosis appears to be easily made with US, CT is necessary in non-diagnostic US examinations to confirm the diagnosis, to demonstrate the cause and moreover to stage the pathology, defining extrarenal complications. In emergency settings, US and CT are differently used in the diagnosis and staging of pyonephrosis.

“…2 Other causes of fistulas have been reported as secondary to ureteral calculi, roundworm infection, iatrogenic injury, trauma, malignancy and idiopathy. [3][4][5] Common presentations of this condition were flank pain, fever, pyuria, pneumaturia and upper gastrointestinal tract symptoms such as anorexia, nausea and vomiting. Recurrent pyelonephritis and lower urinary tract infection are also common presentations of this condition.…”

Uretero-duodenal fistula is an uncommon complication in urology. The cause of fistula have been reported as ureteral calculi, iatrogenic injury, trauma and malignancy. The gold standard treatment of uretero-duodenal fistula remains controversial. The most common management is nephrectomy and primary closure of fistula. We report a case of 67 yearold man with uretero-duodenal fistula after laparoscopic correction of ureteropelvic junction obstruction. In the era of minimal invasive management, we decided to use endoscopic and conservative treatment. The definitive treatment will be reconsidered if conservative treatment fails. We will discuss the steps of management and follow-up for this patient.
