Abstract:
The authors report a case of renal pelvic perforation discovered three months after insertion of a Kimray Greenfield filter on an IVP in the form of a contrast leak. This complication was favoured by the initial malposition of the filter. Computed tomography was essential in the understanding of the pathology and in the investigation of associated lesions (uric acid stone). Treatment was conservative.
