Abstract:
A case of acute bilateral ureteral obstruction due to severe candidal cystitis is described. The obstruction was due to inflammation and fungal plaque formation in the bladder, rather than the usual intraureteral fungus balls. Percutaneous nephrostomies were required bilaterally for resolution of sepsis and renal failure. The case and its management are presented.
