Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Circumcaval ureter is a rare congenital anomaly.
  • It occurs when the inferior vena cava develops abnormally around the ureter.

Observation:

  • A 'fish-hook' appearance on intravenous pyelogram suggested circumcaval ureter preoperatively.
  • This characteristic radiographic finding aids in diagnosis.

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed preoperatively with circumcaval ureter.
  • Surgical management involved Anderson Hones pyeloplasty.
  • The retrocaval segment of the ureter was intentionally left in situ.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the diagnostic value of the 'fish-hook' sign.
  • The Anderson Hones pyeloplasty is a viable surgical option.
  • Management strategies for circumcaval ureter can be refined.
