Summary
Spontaneous pelvic rupture, caused by ureteral obstruction or tumor compression, can be successfully treated non-surgically. Conservative therapies like ureteral catheterization offer a cure without open surgery.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Nephrology
- Radiology
Background:
- Spontaneous pelvic rupture is a rare but serious condition.
- Ureteral obstruction and tumorous compression are potential causes.
Observation:
- Two cases are presented: a 49-year-old female with obstruction and a 63-year-old male with tumorous compression.
- Diagnostic challenges in identifying spontaneous pelvic rupture are discussed.
Findings:
- Conservative management using a double-J ureteral catheter and a pigtail catheter was effective in both cases.
- Non-surgical treatment offers a viable alternative to open surgery.
Implications:
- Highlights the potential for successful conservative treatment of spontaneous pelvic rupture.
- Emphasizes the importance of considering less invasive options in managing ureteral complications.
