Endometriosis can silently affect ureters, causing obstruction and potential kidney loss. Early diagnosis and monitoring are crucial for patients with pelvic endometriosis to preserve renal function.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Gynecology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Endometriosis is a condition where uterine tissue grows outside the uterus.
  • Ureteral involvement in endometriosis is rare but can lead to severe complications.

Observation:

  • A case of obstructive uropathy due to intrinsic ureteric endometriosis is presented.
  • The patient underwent nephrectomy for renal parenchymal destruction.
  • Recurrence of endometriosis in the ureteral stump was noted one year post-surgery.

Findings:

  • Intrinsic ureteric endometriosis can cause progressive ureteral obstruction.
  • Silent onset of symptoms can delay diagnosis, leading to irreversible renal damage.
  • Recurrence is possible even after surgical intervention.

Implications:

  • Close monitoring of renal function is essential for patients with pelvic endometriosis.
  • Utilize diagnostic tools like ultrasound and intravenous urography for early detection.
  • Prompt diagnosis and management can prevent renal unit loss.
