[Obstructive uropathy in genital prolapse]

Two cases of genitourinary prolapse are presented, with a severe high obstructive uropathy complicated with lithiasis and infectious picture. Both cases were elderly patients and had had this problem for many years. They had received no urological or gynaecological examination that could have prevented later complications. As presentation frequency of this pathology is scarce, which undoubtedly is an index of health care, we have reviewed the existing literature to confirm the few descriptions currently reported. Incidence, different etiopathogenic theories explaining this picture, distinctive radiological data and treatment are analyzed.
