Retrocaval ureter presenting at 6 years of age in a girl child – An extreme rarity

Abstract: Retrocaval ureter is one of the very rare congenital anomalies. We report a case of retrocaval ureter in a 6-year-old girl who presented with right flank pain and hydronephrosis. The diagnosis was made on intravenous urography which showed typical “J” shape deformity in the proximal dilated ureter with moderate hydronephrosis. CT scan delineated the course of ureter. The patient was operated and findings were confirmed. The ureter was transected near the pelvis and a pyeloureteric anastomosis with pre-caval tr… Show more

“…Como la vena cardinal posterior derecha se encuentra ventral al uréter, este efectivamente se acuesta en una posición «retrocava» o «circumcava» 1 . El vaso anómalo provoca compresión del uréter derecho, llevando a diversos grados de hidronefrosis, lo que resulta en distintas presentaciones clínicas [10][11][12] .…”
