Periappendicular abscess as a cause of ureteral obstruction
Annales Chirurgiae Et Gynaecologiae
|January 1, 1985
Abstract:
Ureteral obstruction due to appendicitis is a rarity. A twenty-five year old man with no previous abdominal symptoms showed right-sided hydronephrosis and hydroureter on intravenous urography. At operation the cause for this was found to be a ureteral kink due to adhesions caused by a healed periappendicular abscess.
