Spontaneous peripelvic extravasation secondary to ovarian cyst: a case report

We present a case of spontaneous peripelvic extravasation caused by ureteral obstruction secondary to an ovarian cyst. A 47-year-old woman with lower abdominal pain visited our emergency clinic. Emergency computed tomographic scan revealed extravasation around the left kidney and a left ovarian cyst. She was diagnosed to have spontaneous peripelvic extravasation by retrograde pyelography. A double pigtail stent was placed and the ovarian cyst was removed surgically. Intravenous pyelography performed after removal of the stent revealed neither urinary extravasation nor obstruction.
