Endometriosis mimicking ureterolithiasis.

Y M Traub, J Fischelovitch, A Neri

    British Journal of Urology
    |February 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Endometriosis can obstruct the ureter, mimicking kidney stones. Rapid sequence camera-scintigraphy aids in the early diagnosis of this ureteral obstruction.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Gynecology
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus.
    • Ureteral obstruction can be caused by various factors, including stones and extrinsic compression.
    • Differentiating endometriosis-induced ureteral obstruction from ureterolithiasis can be clinically challenging.

    Observation:

    • A case is presented where endometriosis caused obstruction of the right ureter.
    • The patient's clinical presentation mimicked that of ureterolithiasis (kidney stones).

    Findings:

    • Endometriosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of ureteral obstruction, especially in women of reproductive age.
    • Rapid sequence camera-scintigraphy proved useful for the early diagnosis of ureteral obstruction in this case.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering gynecological conditions in urological presentations.
    • The utility of rapid sequence camera-scintigraphy in diagnosing ureteral obstruction warrants further investigation.
    • Improved diagnostic strategies can lead to timely intervention and better patient outcomes for ureteral obstruction.
