“…Retrocaval ureter may co-exist with a solitary kidney or other congenital anomalies, including contralateral renal hypoplasia or ectopia [7], horseshoe kidney [8,9], aberrant renal artery [2], Turner's syndrome [10], Goldenhar syndrome [11], retroperitoneal fibrosis [12], and polycystic disease of the kidneys [13]. In our two cases, no concomitant anomalies were found.…”

Retrocaval ureter is a rare congenital anomaly in which the ureter passes behind, and is compressed by, the inferior vena cava. Its etiology is assumed to be abnormal embryologic development of the inferior vena cava as a result of atrophy failure of the right subcardinal vein in the lumbar portion. We report two cases of retrocaval ureter and review the relevant literature. One patient was a 7-year-old boy who presented with right flank pain. The other was a 40-year-old male who was found to have right hydronephrosis accidentally on abdominal sonography during a health examination. Both underwent retrograde pyelography which showed the typical S-shape of a retrocaval ureter. Abdominal computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the diagnosis of retrocaval ureter. Ureteroureterostomies were performed. One patient showed focal squamous metaplasia of the ureter and the other had chronic inflammation and fibrosis. Follow-up studies showed improvement in hydronephrosis and renal function in both patients. We conclude that retrocaval ureter is a rare disorder and surgical correction is usually effective.

Highlights The main advantage of minimally invasive techniques for the treatment of retrocaval ureter is less blood loss during surgery. Other advantages are shorter hospital stay, less postoperative pain and superior esthetic results. Pure laparoscopic treatment (as in our two cases) seems feasible and technically reliable with excellent functional outcome. Intracorporeal anastomosis of the ureter remains the main limiting factor.

“…Double collecting systems can refer to duplicate renal pelvises or ureters, and occur in < 10% of females with TS (Lippe et al, ; Flynn et al, ). Malrotation, ‘mal‐ascension’, agenesis, renal cysts, aberrant vessels, ureteral obstruction, retrocaval ureter, and dilations of the collecting system have all been reported in TS patients (Matthies et al, ; Cleeve et al, ; Lippe et al, ; Flynn et al, ; Bilge et al, ; Carvalho et al, ).…”

Turner syndrome (TS) is one of the most common sex chromosome abnormalities and results from total or partial monosomy of the X chromosome. It occurs in 1 in 2000 newborn girls and is also believed to be present in a larger proportion of conceptuses. There are various anatomic anomalies that have been associated with TS and the consequences of late recognition of these anomalies can be devastating. Aortic dilation and dissection occur at increased rates in TS patients and contribute to the decreased life expectancy of these patients. Such cases have prompted the need for early identification and continuous monitoring. Other anatomic variations increase morbidity in this population, and negatively impact the social and reproductive aspects of their lives. In this review, we summarize the cardiovascular, neurological, genitourinary, otolaryngolical, craniofacial, and skeletal defects associated with TS. To elucidate these morphological variations, novel illustrations have also been constructed. Clin. Anat. 29:638-642, 2016. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
