Abstract:
A case of bilateral ureteral obstruction associated with alcoholic pancreatitis in a 40-yr-old male patient is reported. Although pancreatitis complicated by pseudocyst formation has been known to involve intra- and extraabdominal organs, bilateral ureteral obstruction has not been reported. We postulated that in the case reported herein, periureteral fat necrosis involving both ureters was the primary etiological mechanism.
